When [worldly persons] buy and sell common things like a horse or jewels, they question everyone and examine [the items] closely. We can observe these efforts being made in the petty affairs of this life. Yet, though the happiness of all our future lives depends on the Holy Dharma, [the foolish] act like dogs with food. Without examining its merits in any way, they revere whatever they happen to find.

-- Sakya Pandita
