Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Iswariji, maybe we could all take up the practice of carefully considering our words before we toss them out into cyberspace. In the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism, there are five factors of what the Buddha called right speech; "Monks, a statement endowed with five factors is well-spoken, not ill-spoken. It is blameless & unfaulted by knowledgeable people. Which five? "It is spoken at the right time. It is spoken in truth. It is spoken affectionately. It is spoken beneficially. It is spoken with a mind of good-will." -Gautam Buddha love, Prajna "Children, all of spirituality is contained in that one word: Awareness." - Amma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
