Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis presents:

This week on our longrunning, ongoing “Walk the Talk Show” podcast and video series, with awards and millions of views over the years…

Waylon asks the question: what is the Buddhist practice of Right Speech when it comes to hate and greed and lies?

“From a Buddhist point of view, we need to be honest. We must not be harmful in our speech, but we need to be able to be frank. In fact, the Buddhist notion of idiot compassion would lead us to (hopefully) remember that allowing hate or lies or prejudice or violent speech to go unanswered in any way is actually harmful.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis 

 “I think the Right Speech approach to the Trump Era is to never let hate go unanswered.

Never let prejudice be ignored.

Never allow the platforming of intolerance.

It is not healthy to be tolerant of intolerance. If you’re tolerant of intolerance, intolerance takes over and then there is no room for tolerance. We have to be intolerant of intolerance. We have to not allow it.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

“ Now is a time for resistance. Not resistance out of aggression, but resistance out of caring for our planet, for our democracy, for our basic rights.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis 

Can’t watch? Why not listen:

“The main message of Right Speech is don’t be afraid to be disagreeable, to disagree, to present facts, to present empathy.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

“ I’m happy to lose fans who are just there to hate on people who look or act differently—who don’t care about others.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis
