who is the ultimate authority?

Clue: it’s not someone labelled ‘the Resident Teacher’.

Another clue: it’s not someone labelled ‘the Spiritual Guide’ or ‘the Spiritual Director’.

Yet another clue: it’s not someone labelled ‘the Buddha’.

Great new article from the Secular Buddhist Association which needs no commentary from me: http://secularbuddhism.org/2012/07/23/who-is-the-ultimate-authority/
