By the way it's a band you uncultured little shit

lololol

I imagine you screaming this whilest sitting in your temple in a cross legged possition in monk attire. Followed by a deep breath - Ooooooooooooooommnnnnnnn

Very Buddhist.

anyway:

Quote:"When we have faith, a great energy in us is unleashed. If our faith is in something unreliable or false, not informed by insight, sooner or later it will lead us to a state of doubt and suspicion. But when our faith is made of insight and understanding, we will touch the things that are good, beautiful, and reliable. Faith is the confidence we receive when we put into practice a teaching that helpsus overcome difficulties and obtain some tranformation. It is like the confidence a farmer has in his way of growing crops. It is not blind. It is not some belief in a set of ideas or dogmas."

Lovely how one can be dogmatic and then insist on not being dogmatic.
