Third Factor of the Eightfold Path with Noah Levine

Eightfold Path Third Factor - Communication & Right Speech

The three aspects of wrong speech - unskillful speech - ways that we create negative karma for ourselves with our communications are gossiping, harsh speech, and dishonesty.

How often in a conversation with another are you talking about someone who is not present? How often are you using your language in an intentionally harsh way with the intention of causing harm. How often are you omitting the truth, exaggerating, minimizing, or rewriting the story to better serve you.
