World Wide Wise Speech 2: Gender | Mindful Q&A #12

In the last Meditation Q & A, Wendy Nash and I talked about wise speech in various modes and contexts but didn’t get around to mentioning much about our always-on-worldwide internet society. In this twelfth installment of the ongoing live series with Wendy Nash inquiring into meditation practice on and off the cushion, we return to wise speech this time in light of today’s instantaneously interconnected and increasingly globalist world.

We also address frivolous and abusive speech as well as wise speech when it comes to women, men, men and women together, and other gender-related stuff including pronouns, confusion, and addressing beings from the heart. And how do we practice and work with this in a meditative context?
