BUDDHA

Once a person is caught by belief in a doctrine, one loses all one's freedom. When one
becomes dogmatic, that person believes his or her doctrine is the only truth and that all other doctrines are heresy.
Disputes and conflicts all arise from narrow views. They can extend endlessly, wasting precious time and sometimes even leading to war. Attachment to views is the greatest impediment
to the spiritual path. Bound to narrow views, one becomes so entangled that it is no longer possible
to let the door of truth open.
