Practice “off of the cushion” is every bit as instructive as quiet sitting. So for this week’s discussion, Andrea presented one aspect of the eightfold path that’s a clear call to apply mindfulness in our daily lives: right speech (also sometimes translated a “wise” speech). We also broke into pairs in which members of the sangha were given the opportunity to bring mindful awareness to their own speech in the moment.
Andrea played excerpts from two talks, which you can listen to via the links below:
