TBC Daylong Retreat: Samma Vacca: Wise Speech as Deep Practice**In-Person and Virtual Options are available!**
Retreat will be held downstairs in Unity Hall at TBC
In Buddhism, Sammā Vācā (“Right Speech” or “Wise Speech”) is the practice of speaking truthfully, kindly, and responsibly. It means avoiding lies, harmful gossip, cruel words, and pointless speech, while using language that promotes understanding, compassion, and harmony. In today's world, we would also incorporate email, texting and most importantly listening. Join us for a daylong retreat experience and dharma talk on the third step of the Noble Eightfold Path, Wise Speech.
The daylong retreat is an excellent way to deepen one's practice and is provided for the community to accommodate busy family lives. There will be sitting, walking, and movement meditations as well as conferences and a dharma talk. Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch, wear comfortable clothing and bring a reusable drinking cup. Whether you have been meditating for years or weeks, we hope you will join us as we take a deeper dive into the practice together.
