THE CHECK BEFORE SPEAKING

| USA Maui Retreat 2016 11/21 Q&A (33:24-34:01)

Whenever we speak, we have some intentions, motivations for the reason we speak and we have some ideas for which we’re speaking; and then you can detect in your mind whether it feels comfortable or uncomfortable.

That provided me the opportunity to not speak if it was not going to be skillful because I could feel the discomfort already; and it greatly reduced the amount of regret and remorse I had because that was a huge part of my depression.
