Abstract | Speech is where our private thoughts and emotions become public; where what is silent becomes vocal and what is personal becomes interpersonal. The quality of its expression reflects the extent of our spiritual development. Both Buddhism and Judaism describe what kind of speech conduct is congruent with the tradition's highest goal and consider it essential in fulfilling that aspiration. But research on the actual experience of cultivating such verbal activity is notably absent. This study explores the dynamic process of evolving speech behavior that is in accord with Buddhist and Jewish ideals. The main research question is: How do we transform ordinary habits of talking into a spiritual practice of ethical speech? |
