Kesamutti Sutta
The Kesamutti Sutta, popularly known in the West as the Kālāma Sutta, is a discourse of the Buddha contained in the Aṅguttara Nikaya (3.65) of the Pali Canon. Although traditionally preserved in the Theravada canonical set, it is often cited by those of the Theravada and Mahayana traditions alike as the Buddha's "charter of free inquiry." == Premise == The sutta starts off by describing how the Buddha passes through the village of Kesaputta and is greeted by its inhabitants, a clan called the Kalamas.
