your doubts are a valuable family heirloom

Your doubts are very helpful, very useful, for yourselves and for us and [us] altogether. If you had no doubt, you all would become jellyfish. You would be like flocks of pigeons or sheep. Lenin said that religious people are like a flock of sheep. They only try to follow their leader; therefore, they run into trouble. They have no social conscience and no political vision. Lenin was right on this one little occasion. Your doubts are a valuable family heirloom. — Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
