These teachers are like a crowd of blind men. The pupil believes what the teacher says, and the teacher believes what he has heard from other teachers. So he who stands in front sees nothing, and he who stands in the midst sees nothing--nor does he who stands at the back see anything. "The faith of these teachers is worthless," says a writer, on Buddha.
