The purpose of this document is twofold:
“Now, Kalamas, don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This wise person is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter & remain in them.” – Slightly paraphrased from the Kalama Sutta (Buddhist Philosophy) 3.65
(Or the short version: Don’t just take things at face value that other people tell you or that you imagine must be true based on what you believe already. Accept them without a grain of salt only when you have experienced their truth or falseness yourself.)
