Anger, Loving Speech & Deep Listening

Thich Nhat Hanh · January 24, 1999 · Plum Village, France

This talk details confusion about not being allowed a ceremony for taking seven vows: celibacy, eating a diet for the world, not stealing or living luxuriously, and refraining from killing or contributing to unnatural death through actions or speech. It emphasizes the Sangha’s guidance, managing anger, and the importance of communication for peace. Training in compassionate listening is crucial, recognizing suffering in others, and restoring harmony. Compassion shields from anger and bitterness, nurturing empathy. Mindfulness practices restore balance, fostering interconnectedness and healing relationships. Through mindful living, loving speech, and attentive listening, reconciliation and growth are possible.
