The Kalama Sutta is a classic teaching in which the Buddha encourages us to investigate experience for ourselves, free from preconceived beliefs and biases. It invites us to recognize the unexamined forces that shape how we think and act, and instead relate directly to our own experience. Rather than becoming caught up in assumptions or dogma, we are encouraged to discover genuine freedom through firsthand experience. These principles can be applied to formal meditation practice and also to daily living in general.
In each class session, guided and silent meditation periods will be complemented by reflection and a discussion period.
