少说一句话, 多念声佛号
That is the "mantra" that I have been using to remind myself to be constantly mindful of the Buddha's name.
Coz as the saying goes, "talk is cheap". and that is true. Speech is just speech. Yes, it can harm or bring joy. But it all depends on your perspectives. If your mind is calm (as it should be if you are mindful), than speech cannot harm you.
We should try not to let our speech run away from us, or focus on conversational topics which are worthless. So what is so and so is getting married or got promoted? Does the sharing of all these matter? It doesnt impact your life at all. (Unless you are comparing, than in that case, why let yourself suffer knowingly?)
Focusing on the Buddha's name is the best practice that we should focus on.
