Join us this Sunday 13th 10am UTC+1, for meditation and a discussion of the 7th Precept ~ avoiding slanderous speech. “Abandoning slanderous speech
a certain one abstains therefrom. When he hears something at one place
he does not proclaim it elsewhere
to bring about a quarrel between the parties;
what he has heard here
he does not report there
to bring about a quarrel between the parties;
thus he brings together the discordant,
restores harmony,
harmony is his delight,
he exults in,
is passionately fond of harmony;
he utters speech that makes for harmony.” - The Buddha to Cunda the Silversmith image
“Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Society cannot exist if the majority of people are not willing to renounce violence, to abstain from violating the lives, liberty, and property of others.” — Human Action: A Treatise on Economics image
