Speaking From Wisdom
by Lisa Goddard
In the ancient teaching of Buddhism one of the primary characteristics of the Dharma is non-harming. In order to be able to live wisely it's important to be able to be wise about the challenges that our life brings us in a world where there is so much violence. And one of the areas where non-harming is so important is about what we say. How we speak and how we listen. It’s interesting what happens in me when I teach about communication. I feel a little tight and hesitant. It's easier for me to teach the foundational teachings of meditation and mindfulness instruction than it is to teach about communication. I feel hesitant because I sense my own limitations in this area. My own inadequacy in this area.
