The Kalama Sutta: A Reading

This is a reading of the Kalama Sutta, a discourse by the Buddha to the people of Kalama. The sutta speaks to practices through which we seek truth, wisdom, and knowledge. The Buddha stresses that we should not determine the validity of teaching using "logical conjecture, inference, analogies or thought," but rather by discerning if its qualities are skillful; blameless; and "if when adopted and carried out, it leads to welfare & happiness."

Thank you! Such a wonderful choice for a reading!

I'm attending introductory classes to Buddhism at the Guang Ming Temple. This reading was very helpful.🌟
