Our words have power to be weapons or constructive tools, to help or hurt others, express care or disdain, make enemies or friends, start wars or bring peace.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Buddha advised that we should<\/span> …<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

… abstain from false speech, especially deliberate lies …<\/p>\n

… abstain from slanderous speech and words used maliciously against others …<\/p>\n

… abstain from harsh words that offend or hurt others …<\/p>\n

… abstain from idle gossip.<\/div>\n

This means that we should, as best we can amid the complexities of life, <\/span>seek to tell the truth, to speak friendly, warm and gently, and to be careful in our words.<\/div>\n
