    The Buddha is staying in Indasala Cave. The sutta identifies the exact location of this cave on Mount Vediya, near a village called Ambasanda, east of Rajagaha, in the country of Magadha. I can do no better than to quote the description on the Buddhanet website: This remote and beautiful cave is the place where the Buddha delivered one of his most profound discourses, the Sakkapanha Sutta. He also uttered verses 206, 207 and 208 of the Dhammapada while staying here. Followers of Tibetan Buddhism

In “The Buddha’s Charter of Free Inquiry” Soma Thera says that the Kālāma Sutta is teaching to the Kālāmas but is also an incentive of free inquiry.

    The orthodox fundamentalist view of the Pali Canon by those who look to it for the foundation of their system of spirituality, religion, and culture is that the Pali Canon is the Buddhavacana, the literal word of the historical Buddha; therefore, the Pali language in which it is written is the literal language of Magadhi, where the Buddha lived and taught.

    Right Speech Pali Canon: And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, and from idle chatter: This is called right speech. We let things slip out of our mouths, sometimes even unknowingly, on a daily basis. A secret promised to be kept quiet or tongue in cheek humor that you just couldn't keep to yourself; it happens to the best of us. After all, it’s just a joke.
