(posted by
maddr)Fourth Precept:
Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful speech and the inability to listen to others, I vow to cultivate loving speech and deep listening in order to bring joy and happiness to other and relieve others of their suffering. Knowing that words can create happiness or suffering. I vow to learn to speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy, and hope. I am determined not to spread news that I do not know to be certain and not to criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure. I will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord, or that can cause the family or community to break. I will make all efforts to reconcile and resolve all conflicts, however small.
Six points of Mindful Speech © 1986 by Chogyam Trungpa
1. Precision: Enunciate your words clearly.
2. Simplicity: Choose your words well.
3. Pace: Speak slowly, without speed or aggression.
4. Silence: Regard silence as an important part of speech.
5. Others: Listen to the words, texture, and quality of others' speech.
6. Self: Focus mindfulness on your own speech.
