ZEN FOR SCIENTISTS
Ma anussavena.
Do not believe something just because it has been passed along and retold for many generations.
In other words: Do not be led by what you are told.
Ma paramparaya.
Do not believe something merely because it has become a traditional practice.
In other words: Do not be led by whatever has been handed down from past generations. See it with fresh eyes.
Ma itikiraya.
Do not believe something simply because it is well-known everywhere.
In other words: Do not be led by common opinion.
Ma pitakasampadanena.
Do not believe something just because it is cited in a text. In other words: Do not be led by what the journals and books say. Also, always check what a paper actually says before you cite it simply because someone else did.
Ma takkahetu.
Do not believe something solely on the grounds of logical reasoning. In other words: Do not be led by mere logic because
logic doesn't always apply.
Ma nayahetu.
Do not believe something merely because it accords with your philosophy. In other words:
Do not be led by mere deduction or inference.
Ma akaraparivitakkena.
Do not believe something because it appeals to common sense. In other words:
Do not be led by considering only outward appearance, your citation index, or because it looks good on your CV.
Ma ditthinijjhanakkhantiya.
Do not believe something just because you like the idea. In other words:
Do not be led by preconceived notions (and the theory reflected as an approval).
Ma bhabbarupataya.
Do not believe something because the speaker seems trustworthy. In other words:
Do not be led by what seems acceptable; do not be led by what someone who seems believable says.
Ma samano no garu ti.
Do not believe something, thinking "This is what our teacher says". In other words:
Do not be led by what your department chair, advisor or anyone else higher in the hierarchy tells you is so.
Whenever you are trying too hard, however, and the more effort you make, the more things seem to go wrong, STOP, and retreat to the island within you where you can recharge the battery:
