How should one speak the truth?

Truth must be spoken in a way that is acceptable and not harmful. We need to learn to speak only with love and calmness. Speaking each person's individual language, like Bodhisattva, or writing a letter using Right speech, can benefit sender and receiver. We need only to understand that the other person has suffered for compassion to be born. Writing is a "deep practice" and should be done knowing our words will affect other people.
