The people of Kalama asked the Buddha who to believe out of all the ascetics, sages, venerable, and holy ones who, like himself, passed through their town. They complained that they were confused by the many contradictions they discovered in what they heard. The above Kalama Sutta is the Buddha's reply.The Buddha advises that it is wise to make a proper examination before accepting any teaching. The above statements should not be taken to mean that one should reject all teachings and become cynical. For this would suggest that one should hold tightly to one's own opinions,
and thus fail to investigate the world around us.
