Today’s quote is from Luang Por Ajahn Sumedho, abbot of England’s Amaravati Buddhist Monastery and the most senior of the Western disciples of the late Ajahn Chah.  This is it:

Suttas are not meant to be “sacred scriptures” that tell us what to believe. One should read them, listen to them, think about them, contemplate them, and investigate the present reality, the present experience with them. Then, and only then, can one insightfully know the truth beyond words.
