Worship Hinders One's Path of Cultivation

If a Buddhist practitioner lacks rationality and wisdom, harbors a mentality of idolizing the fame and reputation of celebrities, and enjoys reciting the words of famous figures without engaging in independent contemplation, then their own thinking becomes confined and obstructed. Such limitations may persist through future lives, generation after generation, making it exceedingly difficult to break through these barriers. This merely delays their own spiritual cultivation. How regrettable that would be!
