How We Speak to Ourselves
The
Buddha saw that we are always engaged in relationships, starting with
that most significant relationship: the one with ourselves. On the
cushion we notice how we speak to ourselves—sometimes with compassion,
sometimes with judgment or impatience. Our words are a powerful medium
with which we can bring happiness or cause suffering.
