AN 3.65: Are You Meditating Correctly? (The Kalama Sutta) | Peter J #7

Dhammarato and Peter talk about the Kalama Sutta, in which, the Buddha describes the percussions a student should take to confirm that he is learning the right Dhamma. The application of these teachings lead one to investigate, and re-investigate, whether or not they are learning the right Dhamma.
