Translated by Piya Tan

This particular sutta stands out from most of the suttas in this Samyutta because in addition to the 12 typical links, there is also a sequence given of the conditioned path that leads out of the suffering.

AN 03.0065 Kesaputti [Kālāma]: To the Kālāmas


"So, as I said, Kālāmas: '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 contemplative is our teacher." When you know for yourselves that, "These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering" — then you should abandon them.' Thus was it said. And in reference to this was it said. (Ven. Thanissaro trans)
