12 Month Buddhist Practice: February (Core Sutras)

For our February practice, we continue in the "Wisdom" category.
Our focus this month will be on selected Core Sūtras/Suttas.

The following sutras found in the Pali Canon and the Chinese Canon can be wonderful core sutras to read: “Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dhamma” (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta), “The Fire Sermon” (Ādittapariyāya Sutta), “The Discourse of the Not-Self Characteristic” (Anatta-lakkhana Sutta), and “The Eightfold Path” (Vibhaṅgasutta Sutta).

Note that some of the core sūtras in the Buddhist tradition you practice in may be different than the above. You can, of course, read the above, or explore those in your tradition (such as one or all of the Three Pure Land Sutras, Heart Sutra, etc.). We will also cover other sutras next month.
