The Kakam Sutta (Sanskit: Kalama Sutra), is a discourse of the Buddha contained in the Anguttara Nikaya of the Tipitaka. It is often cited by those of the Theravada and Mahayana traditions alike as the Buddha's "charter of free inquiry."
The Sutta starts off by describing how the Buddha passes through the village of Kesaptta and is greeted by its inhabitants, the Kalamas of the title. They ask for his advice: they say that many wandering holy men and ascetics pass through, expounding their teachings and criticizing that of other. So whose teachings should they follow?  He delivers in response a sermon that serves as an entry point ot the Buddhadhamma for those unconvinced by mere spectacular revelation.

1. Exercising utmost efforts to study and understanding the teachings of the Buddha and the Buddhist religion.

There are two main schools of Buddhism call Theravada and Mahayana, respectively. The schism of the Sangkha began almost right after the pass-away of the Buddha and the clear cut division into two orders of monks appeared about a century after the demise of the Master.
The schism was first caused by two parties of monks holding two different views on certain disciplinary matters to be followed soon by varied interpretations of the Dharma. By the third century after the Buddha had already been 18 schools of thoughts.
