This New Year let's all try to come from altruistic LOVE, Buddha said that "hatred cannot exist with loving kindness. One of the central teachings of the Buddha: Bodhichitta has this kind of power.  It will inspire and support us in good times and bad. It is like discovering a wisdom and courage we do not even know we have.  Just as alchemy changes any metal into gold, bodhichitta can, if we let it, transform any activity, word, or thought into a vehicle for awakening our compassion.

NAMASTE - This Sanskrit word means "I honor the place within you where you are love from the same place of love within myself" 

Gautama Buddha taught that a person who embraces right speech "speaks the truth, he is devoted to the truth, he adheres to the truth, he is worthy of confidence." Speaking the truth involves speaking the facts without distortion. It means not exaggerating and not jumping to conclusions. It means overcoming passivity to stand up for what we know is right, regardless of what others think. "You do not need to justify asking questions," historian Jacob Neusner once said. "But if you think you have found answers, you do not have the right to remain silent."

Confucius once said that by being honest and by supporting those who are honest, we can raise up an entire nation. "Promote the honest, placing them over the crooked," he said, "and you can cause the crooked to straighten out....If leaders are trustworthy, people will not dare to be dishonest.....It is said that if good people work for a country for a hundred years, it is possible to overcome violence and eliminate killing. This saying is indeed true."

Children imitate those they look up to----and so do adults. Each one of us is a role model for someone. We reflect the inner workings of our hearts and souls to those around us through our speech patterns---by what we don't say, what we do say, and how we say it.

PRACTICE RIGHT SPEECH

The person who has mastered right speech "bears in mind the injunction which says: "In meeting one another, Brothers/Sisters, there are two things that ought to be adhered to: either conversation about the Truth or holy silence." This doesn't mean that we should never say anything. The one who has mastered right speech "speaks at the right time, speaks in accordance with facts, speaks to the point." There is a time to speak and a time to remain silent. One practical rule of thumb is that if what you are going to say doesn't add something of value to a conversation, why say it? by Guatama

Idle chatter or argumentation is an obstacle to our self-mastery because it drains our energy. It fritters away the vitality of our power center. If we speak only when we need to speak, we preserve our vitality.

Right speech is supportive speech, kind speech, respectful speech. Someone who understood this very well was America's first president. In the nineteenth century, a school notebook of George Washington's was discovered at Mount Vernon, Washington's home. It seems that in 1745, fourteen year-old George had written in this notebook "Rules of Civility in Conversation Amongst Men, which he had copied from a work that dated back to 1644 or earlier.

These "rules of civility" are a delightful guideline for right speech. Here are just a few of them:

"In the presence of others sing not to yourself with a humming voice, nor drum with your fingers or feet. Speak not when others speak, sit not when others stand, and walk not when others stop."

"Be no flatterer, neither lay with anyone that delights not to be played with."

"Let your discourse with men of business be short and comprehensive."

"Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of anyone."

"Utter not base and frivolous things amongst grown and learned men, nor very difficult questions or subjects amongst the ignorant, nor things hard to be believed."

"Deride no man's misfortunes, though there seems to be some cause."

"Think before you speak; pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but orderly and distinctly. When another speaks, be attentive yourself and disturb not the audience"

"Whisper not in the company of others."

"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called Conscience."

Right speech is a major precept of Buddhism. In essence, right speech means that we guard the flow of energy through our throat chakra and realize the impact it has on others. It means we look at our ability to speak as a gift that God has given us to convey compassion, kindness and teaching. The one who espouses right speech does not bring division through gossip but uses his speech to create harmony and unity. "What he has heard here he does not repeat there, so as to cause dissension," the Buddha said. Instead, such a one "delights in concord" and "brings together those that are at variance." He or she has given up harsh language.....He speaks words that are free from rudeness, soothing to the ear, loving, going to the heart, courteous,....elevating many."

Theosophist C.W. Leadbeater says that at energetic levels our words, even in casual speech, are much more potent than we realize. "Many people think that in daily life it is not necessary to take the trouble to speak clearly," he writes. "It matters much more than they think, because we are all the time building our own surroundings, and these react upon us."

"How powerful and authentic our words can be when they have first been steeped in the silence of our spirit."

May you find your power of right speech and truth.
