SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group  \n\n\nA weekly online sacred text re
 ading group with Amy\n\nUsing a spiritual-practice approach\, in each sess
 ion we will explore a different brief scriptural text in depth. The aims o
 f the sessions are educational (learning something about the texts and tra
 ditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what the texts ask of us)\, and co
 mmunity-building (getting to know each other better). Amy will have a vers
 ion of the text available to share\; “bring” your own if you like. All
  are welcome\, as are your suggestions of future texts. About half our rea
 dings so far have been those suggested by group members.\n\n\nOur text for
  Saturday\, June 12\, 2021\, is this passage from the Kalama Sutta\, from 
 the Pali canon of Buddhism:\n\n10. "Come\, Kalamas. Do not go upon what ha
 s been acquired by repeated hearing\; nor upon tradition\; nor upon rumor\
 ; nor upon what is in a scripture\; nor upon surmise\; nor upon an axiom\;
  nor upon specious reasoning\; nor upon a bias towards a notion that has b
 een pondered over\; nor upon another's seeming ability\; nor upon the cons
 ideration\, 'The monk is our teacher.' Kalamas\, when you yourselves know:
  'These things are good\; these things are not blamable\; these things are
  praised by the wise\; undertaken and observed\, these things lead to bene
 fit and happiness\,' enter on and abide in them.\n\nThe full sutta is here
 \, in another translation\, if you'd like the broader context\, and other 
 translations of the full sutta be found here.\n\nHow to join:\n\n 	Join th
