My Tuesday evening Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Abhaya Sutta. The Abhaya Sutta teaches the importance of responding to questions from a well-concentrated mind supporting the refined mindfulness that frames experience through the Eightfold Path including Right Speech.  

“In the same way, out of sympathy for others, words that I know to be true, unendearing, disagreeable, but helpful to developing the Dhamma, with a sense of the proper time, I do say them.  (Right Speech)...”  (Abhaya Sutta)
