I just released a new episode of the Secular Buddhism podcast:
Episode 208 – Right Speech: How Our Words Shape the World We Live In
This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of the Eightfold Path, and it focuses on something we all do every day—speak.
But how often do we pause to consider why we say what we say, or how our words impact others—and ourselves?
In this episode, I unpack the Buddhist teaching of Right Speech, not as a set of rigid rules, but as a mindfulness practice. We explore:
- The four types of unskillful speech
- The subtle power of tone, timing, and intention
- Why silence can sometimes be the most compassionate response
- How our internal dialogue is just as important as what we say out loud
You’ll also hear practical reflections for everyday life—from conversations with loved ones, to communication at work, to how we navigate the noisy world of social media.
If you’ve ever wondered how to speak more intentionally, respond instead of react, or just be a little kinder to yourself through your inner voice, this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen to Episode 208 here:
As always, thank you for listening and for walking this path with me.
Warmly,
Noah
