Ego is an Illusion in Buddhism
The Buddha recognized the immense importance of our human capacity for speech and interaction, emphasizing the need for Right Speech to promote peace and happiness in ourselves and others.
Episode 16 – Ego is an Illusion in Buddhism
In this episode, we explore the Buddhist teaching of Right Speech and how it offers a powerful framework for transforming your inner and outer world. The Buddha taught that our words carry energy — they can build peace, connection, and healing, or create harm and confusion.
By practicing Right Speech, we not only speak more clearly and kindly, but also learn to quiet the ego that drives reactivity, judgment, and self-centered communication.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
What Right Speech means in Buddhist tradition
How the ego influences our communication patterns
Why mindful speech is a path to deeper self-awareness
Tools to practice restraint, clarity, and compassion in daily interactions
Right Speech is more than a communication tip. It’s a mindfulness practice that helps align your intentions with your actions and supports emotional healing.
If you’re working on your recovery, your relationships, or your mindfulness practice, focusing on speech is a powerful starting point.
