Deep Listening, Deep Loving
Our
training begins with learning first to listen to ourselves until we
know our deepest aspirations, shortcomings, sufferings, and joys. Next,
we must learn to listen deeply to our partner and family. Right speech
prompts us to ask our loved ones: 'What could I do to make you happier?'
and then to listen to the reply without judging or reacting. Right
speech prompts us to say, 'Thank you for being here for me. Your
presence enriches my life. Please tell me how I can love you better.'
