   :: The instructions contained in the suttas are entirely of a wholesome nature, and are all about the development of skillful qualities such as generosity, virtue, patience, concentration, mindfulness, and so on. When you read a sutta you are therefore filling your mind with wholesome things. If you consider all the harmful impressions with which the modern media bombard us day in and day out, a little regular sutta study can become an island of sanity and safety in a dangerous sea. Take good care of your mind — read a sutta today and take it to heart.

   :: This is the most important question of all, as it challenges you to take the sutta to heart. After all, it is the heart that is to be transformed by these teachings, not the intellect. Ask yourself: Do I identify with any of the situations or characters in the sutta? Are the questions asked or teachings presented pertinent to me? What lessons can I learn from the sutta? Does this teaching fill me with doubts about my capacity to achieve Awakening, or does it fill me with even greater faith and confidence in the Dhamma?

   :: There are many ways to find related suttas on this website. If you click on the "**About**" link at the top of a sutta page, you will find other suttas that are located nearby in the Canon. Often these "neighbors" concern related topics. To find other suttas, articles, or books on related topics, explore the [[index-subject|General Index]]. If there is a character mentioned in the sutta about whom you'd like to read more, try the [[index-names|Index of Proper Names]].
