What I am speaking about
this evening is the right attitude towards religion. True religion does not add
to one's helplessness. But you should
not expect to gain from a religion-- because it is not of things, i.e.,
worldly. For example, Buddha's wisdom does not produce anything. Wisdom sees
the world and things as they are; but wisdom has no form or color. Hence wisdom
is not something to rely on.
