The Seventy-seventh Gate
Right speech is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] concepts, voice, and words all are known as sound
Right Speech :
to abstain from false, slanderous, malicious or harsh speech and idle gossip that offends or hurts others…
Gatha:
May we together with all buddhas
Practice Right Speech
That we may attain the noble path
May this offering bring peace to all buddhas
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.
