Right Speech: The Mouth Responds in Silence, Not Speaking Foolish Words; The Tongue Blossoms like a Lotus, Responding to Conditions with Dharma.

  • Interpretation:

    • 正语 (Right Speech): Right Speech is about using speech that is truthful, beneficial, and harmonious. It avoids lying, gossip, divisive speech, and harmful language.
    • 口密应 (The Mouth Responds in Silence): True speech is not just about words, but also the silence of the mouth. It implies that the most effective speech is often when it aligns with wisdom and mindfulness, spoken only when necessary.
    • 不妄绮口舌 (Not Speaking Foolish Words): It refers to the avoidance of frivolous, untrue, or harmful speech. One should not indulge in idle chatter or speak with ill intentions.
    • 舌灿莲花 (The Tongue Blossoms like a Lotus): This imagery highlights the purity and beauty of right speech. Like a lotus that rises from muddy water without being tainted, right speech remains pure and compassionate, unaffected by harmful or untruthful influences.
    • 应机而说法 (Responding to Conditions with Dharma): This speaks of the ability to adapt one's speech according to the situation, always aiming to speak the Dharma (truth) to help others. It implies wisdom in choosing words that benefit the listener and situation.
  • Philosophical Insight:
    Right Speech is not simply about avoiding harmful speech, but also about cultivating speech that is timely, appropriate, and full of wisdom. The metaphor of the tongue as a lotus suggests that speech, when it arises from a pure heart, can transform situations and guide others toward enlightenment. Right Speech goes beyond just avoiding lies—it calls for intentional, compassionate communication that aligns with the Dharma, speaking only when it truly benefits others.


Summary of the First Three Poems:

The first three poems establish a foundation for ethical conduct, focusing on Right View, Right Thought, and Right Speech in the Noble Eightfold Path. Right View promotes seeing the world clearly and harmonizing actions with truth. Right Thought emphasizes wisdom, especially the wisdom of emptiness and the transcendence of dualities. Right Speech encourages speaking truthfully, beneficially, and with mindfulness, emphasizing that speech should not be frivolous but should arise from wisdom and compassion, like a lotus blooming from the mud.
