What this episode covers
Zuisei speaks of Right Speech, the third factor in the Noble Eightfold Path. She speaks of the importance of kind, mindful speech whose purpose is to affirm rather than negate, to support rather than demean. In fact, according to the Buddha, right speech should have five characteristics: it must be timely, true, beneficial, endearing, and agreeable. If it is missing any of these characteristics, then we do better to refrain.
