Worship Hinders One's Path of Cultivation

If a Buddhist practitioner lacks sense and wisdom, harbors a mentality of idolizing renowned figures and their fame, and enjoys merely reciting the words of celebrities without engaging in independent contemplation, then their own thinking and reasoning are prone to become obstructed and hindered. Such limitations may persist through this lifetime and even into future lifetimes, making it exceedingly difficult to break through these barriers. This only needlessly delays their own spiritual path—how regrettable!
