Dharma on Demand | Ep8. The Eightfold Path: Right Speech

Right Speech is based on Right Thinking. Speech is the way for our thinking to express itself aloud. The Buddha dives Right Speech into four components: 1) abstaining from false speech, 2) abstaining from slanderous speech, 3) abstaining from harsh speech, and 4) abstaining from idle chatter, exaggeration, and embellishing.
