Podcasts about right speech

Dr. Judith explores why certain conversations with people you still love can leave you “soul tired,” especially for women in midlife, and reframes this shift as soul discernment awakening through the Christ rather than a loss of patience or love. She distinguishes human discernment (comfort, preference) from soul discernment (what draws you toward God, truth, peace, wisdom, and right action), and walks through three “elevations” of seeing: the valley view (everything feels personal and guilt-driven), the climb (prayerful pause and relational discernment that separates the person from the pattern), and the higher view (what the soul is learning and how to respond with aligned speech and action). Using Claire and her friend Marlene, Dr. Judith shows how compassion can become self-abandonment and offers examples of clear, gentle boundary-setting rooted in prayer and right order.00:00 When Love Feels Draining01:18 What Soul Discernment Is02:53 Midlife Soul Threshold05:22 Claire and Marlene Pattern07:35 Three Elevations Framework09:54 Valley View and Guilt11:40 Emotional Discernment15:17 The Climb Begins16:17 Relational Discernment Patterns19:19 Jesus and Right Alignment22:05 Higher View Soul Lessons26:59 Right Speech and Action30:43 Weekly Practice and Closing

Broadcasting live from Ota City, Tokyo, I'm digging into the quiet power of Zen Buddhism and how it can stop you from going around the twist while building your business. After years of being influenced by Japanese concepts like Kaizen and Ikigai, I've realized that the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path offer the ultimate "treatment plan" for the friction and dissatisfaction we all feel at work. We're looking at why compulsive attachment to outcomes usually messes things up and how shifting your focus to "Right Livelihood" and "Right Mindfulness" keeps you grounded. Whether you're washing dishes, fixing a bike, or teaching a guitar scale, there's a way to do it with more clarity and a lot less nonsense. It's about being excellent to yourself while staying useful to your students. Key Takeaways Ordinary life often contains a sense of friction or "Dukkha," which in a business context shows up as subtle dissatisfaction or the feeling that things are incomplete. Much of our professional stress comes from a compulsive attachment to specific outcomes, like hitting a certain income goal or needing a specific car to feel happy. The Eightfold Path isn't a rigid checklist but a set of interconnected practices—like Right Speech and Right Action—that you embody moment by moment. Right Mindfulness means being fully present in the mundane tasks, whether that's administrative work or teaching a student to play an instrument. Applying these principles helps you see through your own nonsense and ensures you are earning a living in a way that doesn't create suffering for others.  Direct Quotes  I'm just about smarter enough to realise that I don't have all the answers. The issue isn't desire in every sense, but that compulsive never ending grasping and attachment to outcomes. The Eightfold Path is just a route towards enlightenment... it's also how enlightenment is expressed and performed in daily life. They help to keep you grounded. Thinking straight and seeing through your own nonsense. Remember that life is good. Be excellent to yourselves. Stay healthy. Stay useful.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 5/21/26 – Are the words you are about to speak true? Verify them first through your own experience. Are they of benefit? Are they agreeable or disagreeable? Know your intentions and consider carefully before speaking. Drawing from the early teachings, Shugen Roshi offers the Buddha's guidelines for practicing right speech in ways that bring an end to conflict and suffering and offer a path of liberation.

Sometimes it's hard to say what you mean. Oren Jay Sofer says, "Communication is a learnable skill and it's one of the most powerful levers for making change in your life and the world." Non-violent communication is about taking responsibility for what we are experiencing using empathy, deep listening, know how to make requests.// This episode is a replay from the Sonya Looney Show. It originally aired October 22, 2020. //Author and renowned meditation instructor Oren Jay Sofer regularly teaches a mindful approach to non-violent communication. spent two and a half years of living as an Anagarika (renunciate) at branch monasteries in the Ajahn Chah Thai Forest lineage. Today, his teaching combines classical Buddhist training with the accessible language of secular mindfulness.  Since the early 2000s, Oren has had a deep interest in the relationship between contemplative practice and communication. A graduate of the BayNVC North American Leadership Training, he has taught classes and workshops in Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC) nationally since 2006. His innovative retreats and online programs in Mindful Communication offer one of the only opportunities in the U.S today to explore the intersection between formal meditation practice, Right Speech and NVC.  Oren  is the founder and Guiding Teacher of Next Step Dharma, an innovative online course focused on bringing the tools of meditation to daily life, and co-founder of Mindful Healthcare.  Oren has created mindfulness programs for organizations, companies, and apps including Apple, Kaiser Permanente, Lumosity, Calm, 10% Happier, Simple Habit and others.I loved his book, Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication.  In the book, a main theme is that every thought or feeling is there to try to meet a need.  If you can try to figure out what need your thoughts are tied to, it's easier to articulate what you need to those around you.  It's also useful when listening to someone in a disucssion or conflict to tease out what need they are trying to have met.  I also enjoyed learning about conflict and viewing it as a way to deepen relationships. I also learned that non-violent communication and conflict resolution isn't necessarily to try to get someone to do things your way, it's about deepening understanding of one another because sometimes we simply can't agree to have the same viewpoint.   Non-violent communication has a framework of observation, the feeling, the needs and values to be met, and the request.Three questions you can ask yourself are what happened, how do I feel about it, and why?I also loved learning about how to use mindfulness in listening and communication as well as how to ground yourself in your own body when tensions rise.Topics Discussed in the Podcast from childhood actor to meditation instructor4 types of conflict avoidanceself-empathytools for internal pressureNo mud, no lotusaddressing the voiceless and gender constructshow to make requests of othersResourcesOren Jay Sofer's websiteGet Oren's book: Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Hey my good friend, thanks for coming back to another episode of Zen Commuter. Today, upon returning from a hiatus, I thought it would be a perfect day to talk about Right Speech. And the best way to do that is with an article from Tricycle magazine. Sensei Dhara Kowal wrote a perfect article that talks about what tricycle does best; putting ancient context into a modern light. Come listen and learn.   THANKS FOR LISTENING!

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge)

This talk explores how every word we speak carries the power to create harmony or division, awakening or confusion. Drawing from the Buddha's teaching on Right Speech—truthful, kind, useful, and timely communication—you'll discover how mindfulness transforms the way we express ourselves and listen to others. Words become more than sound; they become expressions of presence, integrity, and care. Through stories, reflection, and a few moments of silence, we'll explore how conscious speech can become a profound practice of awakening in daily life.   You'll learn how to pause before speaking, feel into your intention, and sense whether your words arise from love or from fear. You'll explore the liberating clarity of truthfulness, the warmth of kindness, the power of words that serve, and the wisdom of silence. These simple but radical principles—rooted in the Buddha's Eightfold Path—can transform your relationships, deepen your meditation, and turn everyday conversation into an expression of compassion and freedom.

During this talk, April provides a review of Right Speech as a basic element of the Noble Eightfold Path, cultivating a clear conscience as the platform from which the process of Awakening develops.  An element of Right Speech, truthfulness, is associated with the challenges presented by media disinformation and Artificial Intelligence in contemporary life.  This […]

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought, "Why did I just say that?" Oh, me too. But thankfully, the Buddha left us plenty of tools to transform even our speech into something sacred. In this episode, we explore an acronym I recently added to my spiritual toolbox, W.A.I.T. — Why Am I Talking? Before we speak, we can pause and ask ourselves this simple question to check our motivation. Are we trying to connect or control? Are we speaking from kindness or merely from habit? The Four Gates of Speech Another powerful filter comes directly from the Buddha. Before we speak, we can ask ourselves if our words pass through these Four Gates: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? Is it the right time? The Downfalls of Speech In the Buddhist teaching on Right Speech, the Buddha identified four types of unskillful speech that cause harm: Lying – intentionally deceiving Divisive speech – creating conflict or turning people against each other Harsh speech – cruel, aggressive, or hurtful words Idle gossip– pointless talk that distracts and wastes energy We can gradually reduce these habits and move toward speech that uplifts, heals, and connects. A Practice You Can Try Today Next time you're about to speak, even just in casual conversation, take a beat and ask: "W.A.I.T — Why am I talking?" You might find there's wisdom in the silence. Or you might find your words come from a more beautiful place, a place of kindness, truth, and intention.

In this episode, we continue our journey through the Eightfold Path by exploring Right Speech. More than just speaking truthfully or avoiding gossip, Right Speech is a mindfulness practice—an invitation to reflect on how, why, and when we communicate. We look at the four types of unskillful speech—false, harsh, divisive, and idle chatter—and how becoming aware of them can transform our relationships, both with others and with ourselves. From conversations with loved ones to the inner dialogue in our minds, speech shapes our experience. Tune in as we reflect on how a single moment of awareness before speaking can reduce harm and create connection. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's not a papering over of the truth of our emotions, but rather, it's to be mindful enough that we can communicate what we're feeling in a way that promotes connection rather than promotes divisiveness. This is a practice. Right speech is a practice." – Joseph GoldsteinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joel Sansho Benton, Senior Lay Student - ZMM - 6/26/25 - How do we practice Right Speech, and how do we practice mindfulness in our everyday language? We use language all the time, often reacting to circumstances without much thought or reflection about how our words are landing.

Lee Wolak—Zen practitioner, teacher of Religious Science, and author of The Power in You—dives deep into the profound meaning of Right Speech, the third step on the Noble Eightfold Path. This isn't about surface-level kindness. It's about using your voice as a spiritual tool to align with truth, integrity, and power.

When practiced consciously, it becomes a spiritual discipline that reflects your inner world and reshapes your outer experience.

Waylon asks the question: what is the Buddhist practice of Right Speech when it comes to hate and greed and lies? “From a Buddhist point of view, we need to be honest. We must not be harmful in our speech, but we need to be able to be frank. In fact, the Buddhist notion of idiot compassion would lead us to (hopefully) remember that allowing hate or lies or prejudice or violent speech to go unanswered in any way is actually harmful." ~ Waylon H. Lewis

This is our second episode on Deep Listening. I absolutely love this topic, especially as an untapped, yet readily available resource to us all. So much bitterness occurs because we do not listen. Listen deeply, pay attention to the roots of suffering, and let understanding grow bringing the true source of healing: compassion. To fully appreciate the fruits of this episode, you should buy Thich Nhat Hanh's book,The Heart of Buddha's Teaching. Summary In this episode, Rockne Cole explores the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, focusing on the transformative power of listening and the concept of Right Speech. He discusses the importance of deep listening as a superpower that can heal relationships and foster understanding.

(Karuna Buddhist Vihara) Some of the hardest times to come up with the right words and the right attitude are when the topic at hand is really hot. Maybe it is when we feel there is something very important at stake. Maybe it is when something seems very wrong in the world: war, political strife, corruption, injustice. How can we use Right Speech in such circumstances? How can we express ourselves in ways that are truthful but do not widen the divide. How can we promote peace and mutual respect? How can we relate to others with very different views and values with honesty and skill? These are some of the areas we will explore, working with personal as well as societal examples. And, we will base our conversation on the Buddha's words and advice.
