The Buddha Project Reply To: Response to “start what we are dealing with”
As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

Hi Manita – Pherhaps a little add-on to above writings.
While a train is delayed, thinking: ok a train is delayed. It is not a big disaster when my train is delayed in terms off: I still have food, water, etc. Maybe some action is required: call my manger/boss or … to let them know I am late and continue observing what is going on inside me.
Observing, taking responsibility, sometimes some action is required and back to observing what is inside of me. Hopefully it is helpful for you. If not let me know. Enjoy ur day!
