Buddha's Eightfold Path - 1 - Reflections On Right Speech

Right Speech is one of the practices encouraged in the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path. What we say and how we say it can have consequences for good or ill. It is a virtue that we need to practice as part of our effort to leave this world a little better than we found it. In this meditation, we are offered encouragement for this important task.

Well Tony, you delivered a message I needed to hear this morning. Thank you for this important reminder concerning “right speech”. It is so easy to fall into complaining, perseverating, one upping, and generally, allowing far too much rhetoric and hate speech to come out of our faces. Mindful speech, indeed, requires much more silence in which to consider whether what we are about to say, is true, necessary, and kind. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you for this kind teaching on mindful speech. 🙏🏻

Wow! The practice is beautifully explained. It is one of the best explanations I have heard on Right Speech. Thank you 🫶🏽

This is what I need to listen to about once a month. Thank you, Tony, for another gentle teaching and reminder. .

Soothing, calming, encouraging, and helped me believe I can actually practice right speech if I set an intention to do so.
