  ''Sure this is not the word of that Exalted One, Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One"

 


Last Days of the Buddha,Maha parinibbána Sutta (Digha Nikáya Sutta 16) & Anguttara Nikáya Sutta 4.180 "“In this case. “Monks, a monk might say : “Face to face with the Exalted One, your reverence, your reverence, did I hear it; face to face with him did I receive it. This is Dhamma, this is Vinaya, this is the Master’s teaching.” Now, monks, the words of that monk are neither to be welcomed nor scorned, but without welcoming, without scorning, the words & syallables are to be closely scrutinized, laid beside Sutta (Abidhamma is obviously a much later collection) & compared with Vinaya. If, when thus laid beside Sutta & compared with Vinaya, they lie not along with Sutta & agree not with Vinaya, to this conclusion must ye come: Sure this is not the word of that Exalted One, Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, & it was wrongly taken by that monk. So reject it, monks."

Verse 183. Not to do evil, to cultivate merit, to purify one's (NOT BY OTHERS) mind—this is the Teaching of the Buddhas.

 In Buddhism there are no dogmas or beliefs that one has to accept on blind faith without question
