KALAMA Sutta: Buddha's Teachings to the KALAMA. KALAMA SUTTA: The Instruction To The Kalamas. Kalama Sutras KALAMA PEOPLE IN KESAPUTTA COME TO LISTEN TO THE BUDDHA 1. This is what I heard. Once the Buddha, while preaching in the country of Kosala where there was a large community of monks, he entered a small province inhabited by the Kalamas, named Kesaputta. The Kamala (tribe) are the inhabitants of Kesaputta: "The Blessed One Gotama, a monk, the son of the Sakyans (Shakyamuni), on his preaching tour in Kosala, he came to the small province of Kesaputta.The Buddha's popularity was spread in the following way: The Blessed One was indeed a perfect being, he was fully enlightened, he was full of knowledge and practice, he is excellent, he understands the worlds, no one can compare with him, he transforms people for good, he is the master of gods and men, he himself has clear understanding through direct experience. The Blessed One laid down the Dhamma, good at the beginning, good in the middle, and good at the end, this Dhamma has meaningful words and messages, and it's all perfect; (through his life,) he proved that the life of a monastic is completely pure, and noble. It is a good thing that we meet such perfect beings. 2. The Kamala were the inhabitants of Kesaputta, then they went to the residence of the Blessed One. When he arrived, some people paid homage to him, then sat aside; a number of people exchanged greetings with him, and, at the conclusion of a memorable friendly conversation, they sat aside; some people clasped their hands to pay homage to him, then they sat to one side; some gave him their names and families, and then they sat aside; some people say nothing, then they sit aside. The KALAMA at KESAPUTTA asked the Buddha to teach 3. The Kamala people, the inhabitants of Kesaputta, sat to one side and said to the Blessed One: "Venerable One, there are some monks and Brahmins, visiting Kesaputta. introduced, presented, and explained their teachings; and the teachings of others were despised, reviled, and severely criticized by them. In other subjects, they visited Kesaputta. They also only introduced, presented, and explained their own teachings; and the teachings of others were severely despised, reviled, and criticized by them. Ton, we have doubt, there is uncertainty regarding these monks and brahmins, who's telling the truth and who's lying?" STANDARD DISCLOSED (NOT USED) 4. "Hey Kalamas, it's right when you have doubt, there's uncertainty; Uncertainty arises when your mind senses something suspicious. Come here, Kalamas. Do not accept based on the following: what you have heard over and over again; or based on tradition; or based on rumour; or based on scripture; or based on conjecture; or based on an accepted fact; or based on superficial judgment; or based on a bias (​about a pondered idea); or based on a likely viewer; or based on 'a monk is his teacher'. Hey Kalamas, when you yourself know the following: 'These things are bad; these things are reproached; these are condemned by the wise; through practice and observation, these lead to suffering and illness,' you should reject them. Greedy, Hate, and delusion 5. "Hey Kalamas, what do you think? When someone has greed, is this good or bad for them?" - "World-Honored One, it is harmful." "Hey, Kalamas, when someone has greed, whose mind is overwhelmed by greed, whose mind is defeated by greed, this person will go to murder, steal, commit adultery, and lie; this person also instigates others to do the same. These things will make them suffer and sick for a long time, won't they? - "World Honored One, that's right." 6. "Hey guys Kalama, what do you think? When someone has anger, Is this beneficial or harmful to them?" - "Worship, venerable sir." - "People of the Kalamas, when someone has anger in their heart, their mind is overwhelmed by anger, their mind is overwhelmed by anger. anger is defeated, this person will go to murder, steal, commit adultery, and lie; this person also incites others to do the same. These things will make them suffer and sick for a long time, won't they? - "Venerable Sir, yes." 7. "Hey Kalamas, what do you think? When someone is delusional, is this good or bad for them?" - "World-Honored One, it is harmful." "Hey, Kalamas, when someone has delusion, their mind is overwhelmed by delusion, their mind is defeated by delusion, this person will go to murder, steal, commit adultery, and lies; one also incites others to do the same. These things will make them suffer and sick for a long time, won't they? - "Venerable Sir, yes." 8. "Hey Kalamas, what do you think? Are these (above) good or bad?" - "Venerable sir, bad stomach." "To be criticized or not to be blamed?" - "Venerable sir, be blamed." - "Condemned or praised by the wise?" "Venerable sir, condemned." - "Through practice and observation, do these lead to suffering and illness? Or how do these burn your mind?" - "Through doing and observing, these lead to suffering and sickness. Therefore, these things burn our minds here." 9. "Therefore, Kalamas, we said, what we said before, 'Come, Hey Kalamas. Do not accept based on the following: what you have heard over and over again; or based on tradition; or based on rumour; or based on scripture; or based on conjecture; or based on an accepted fact; or based on superficial judgment; or based on a bias (​about a pondered idea); or based on a likely viewer; or based on 'a monk is his teacher'.
