A Talk on Right Speech

Right Speech is one of the aspects of the Noble Eightfold Path. It involves being mindful of your words and speaking in a way that is benficial to yourself and others, not harmful.

Right Speech includes abstaining from telling lies, using harsh and divisive speach, and abstaining from idle gossip

Beautiful expounding of this most important element of practice. Thank you.

Good to review periodically. THINK .. thoughtful, hurtful, intelligent, necessary, kind!

A modern day approach to practicing the ancient truth of Right Speech. Thank you.

How important mindfulness is each time we speak. Thank you

Thank you for this helpful teaching! 🙏🏻

Your words were a great self awareness tool. It was a nice little reminder on how my behavioral words effect myself and those around me. Thank you for the helpful words. And FYI, you mentioned that you did not know who was famous these days. The answer is, almost everyone these days! Social media’ has given everyone the freedom of becoming famous with more ease or helps them think they are 😝

Thank you for sharing.

Very helpful. I like your straightforward presentation in your talks.

I have opportunities to practice this frequently, as I work with someone who is full of anger and often speaks harsh or divisive words. I look on this person as a teacher for me, both of metta and of right speech. I find your words helpful when I'm tempted to respond unskillfully. :)

Very inspiring and truthful. Thank you.

Thank you, this is a great reminder while I go through a strange time at work.

Great talk! Will listen many more times 🌸
