Right Speech Is a Practice

The Buddha outlined a practice that if people would actually apply it in their lives, would really totally transform the world we live in. Good communication is what right speech is all about; harsh language does not serve it. Here in bhikkhus you should train yourself thus: Our minds will remain unaffected. We shall utter no unskillful words. And starting with that person, pervade all the world with a mind imbued with loving kindness.
