Our local sutta study group is meeting in a few weeks and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a sutta that we could explore? I was hoping to use a sutta from an early part of the canon, specifically, from the Sutta Nipata, perhaps the Aṭṭhakavagga, Uragavagga, or Pārāyanavagga collections. Our group includes those who are fairly new to the suttas, so a sutta that is particularly relevant for early lay practitioners would be ideal. One of my favorites, the Attadanda sutta, has already been discussed by the group. If you know of a study guide/resource relevant to that sutta, that would also be welcome–thank you in advance!

Take a look at MN 95. I came accross this sutta today. Or AN 3.65, the Kesamuttisutta, or Kalama Sutta. It explain how to find a good teacher, and how to learn the dhamma.
