Imagine for many of you, you have come to interviews to Rosemary and me quite a few times, at least five or six times. Many of you have had interviews with us up to a hundred or more times, you have all asked a number of different questions, most of the time, I would believe, we've answered you pretty well. If you have come to an interview with me, many, many times, and you have asked one hundred questions, and every time I answered you, I gave you a good answer, you tested them, you worked with them, they all seemed to work.
During that time you will develop what we call Saddha or confidence, you will feel that Steve has got a lot of good stuff, you know. So when you come to me for your one hundred and first question, will you doubt what I say easily or will you believe what I say easily? It's very clear that most people after one hundred times of getting a right answer, they are going to consider this answer will be right also. So they will not doubt it, they will not possibly 100% believe it, but they will be very strongly into believing it, because they have the confidence that it worked before with the same teacher.
However if you have been with me 100 times or a thousand questions, though, Buddhism is still saying, Kalama Sutta, "don't believe just you're told this or that..." Confidence does make things easier though. But if you walk away from an interview, where I've taught you something very good, but if you have a lot of doubts, it's possible you won't even try it, so then you won't even know if it works or not.
