“[Wise Speech] is really about compassion—it’s being aware of the power of speech, and using it to express what is conscious and what brings freedom.” – Jack Kornfield

Exploring the third step of the Eightfold Path, Jack mindfully shares on:

  • Wise Speech / Right Speech as a factor of awakening
  • Compassion, non-harming, and embodying Buddha Nature
  • Ram Dass’s “Hopi-Hippie Be-In” and what it means to ‘speak the truth’
  • Navigating culture’s and advertising’s web of lies
  • Speaking from your deepest truth and knowing
  • Buddha and using the energy of speech to awaken
  • What it means to truly listen to another human being
  • Compassionate communication and listening
  • Discerning your intention and motivation when talking to people
  • Speaking like a Buddha and treasuring our speech
  • The simple pleasure of talking and communication
  • Using your words for justice, truth, love, and wisdom
  • Letting go of pride and needing to be right
  • A “Wise Speech” guided meditation
  • Chanting the seed syllable “Ah”


“The key to listening and speaking wisely is the intention—our intention to learn, to discover, to hear something that we haven’t understood.” – Jack Kornfield

“The possibility, if we are to live an awakened life, is to foster that speech that comes from our deeper knowing.” – Jack Kornfield
