In the Kalama Sutra, the Lord Buddha expounded teachings which I found to be so full of worldly, practical wisdom. They apply to everything we do with our lives. Here they are:
- Do not strongly believe what you hear just because you have heard it for a long time.
- Do not follow tradition blindly merely because it has been practised in that way for many generations.
- Do not be quick to listen to rumours.
- Do not confirm anything just because it agrees with your scriptures.
- Do not foolishly make assumptions.
- Do not abruptly draw conclusions by what you see and hear.
- Do not be fooled by outward appearances.
- Do not hold on tightly to any view or idea just because you are comfortable with it.
- Do not accept as fact anything that you yourself find to be logical.
- Do not be convinced of anything out of respect and deference to your spiritual teachers.
