130 - Three Approaches for Doubt and Mistrust

from Secular Buddhism

In Buddhism, doubt is beneficial because it is the first step in weakening our wrong views. The wonderful thing about doubt is that it can propel us in the direction of more skillful views. There is a strong emphasis in Buddhism to avoid “believing in” Buddhist teachings, instead, we are encouraged to evaluate them and to understand them and ultimately, to test them against our own experience.Koan Discussed: One day Chao-chou fell down in the snow, and called out, “Help me up! Help me up!” A monk came and lay down beside him. Chao-chou got up and went away.Koan Shared: What is the sound of one hand clapping?Book Mentioned: “Mind in Tibetan Buddhism” by Lati Rinbochay.
