Under the Imli tree:50 years of Vidyaranya
Vidyaranya 50 years
-
“Believe nothing…
…merely because you have been told it
Or because it is traditional,
Or because you have imagined it.
Do not believe what your teacher tells you
Merely out of respect for the teacher.
But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis,
You find to be conducive to the good,
The benefit, the welfare of all beings
That doctrine believe and cling to,
And take it as your guide.”
- The Buddha
Vidyaranya, a way of life that cherishes freedom, questions, diversity and friendship.
(As taken from the Vidyaranya 50 years publication)
What I learned at Vidyaranya | “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” – Samuel Beckett

Reminds me of something that I read somewhere:
To tread the sharp edge of a sword
To run on smooth-frozen ice,
One needs no footsteps to follow.
