Harsh Words
Date Posted:
Rinpoche made the following comments on the importance of speaking kindly.
Your decisions are correct but the problem is the way they are expressed – with harsh words and anger. These are extra and unnecessary; they create problems. Of course, someone doing wrong needs to have it explained to him or her, but with compassion and no negative feeling. You should use only kind words, even though you are saying that what they did was wrong.
