The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom
“Good Gotama, for my part I say this, I hold this view. If anyone speaks of what he has seen, heard or sensed, there is no harm in him saying: “This is what I saw, this is what I heard, this is what I sensed.” There is no harm resulting from that.”
“For my part, Brãhmin, I do not say that everything one has seen, heard or sensed should be spoken of, and I do not say it should not be spoken of. If one speaks and unprofitable states grow, one should not speak. If one speaks and profitable states grow, one should speak of what one has seen, heard, sensed, and understood.”
