An excerpt from Shambhala - The Sacred Path of the Warrior - by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
The importance of communicating openly with others
If you tell the truth to others, then they can also be open with you — maybe not immediately, but you are giving them the opportunity to express themselves honestly as well. When you do not say what you feel, you generate confusion for yourself and confusion for others. Avoiding the truth defeats the purpose of speech as communication.
Telling the truth is also connected with gentleness. A Shambhala person speaks gently: he or she doesn't bark. Gentle speech expresses your dignity, as does having a good head and shoulders. It would be very strange if someone had a good head and shoulders and began to bark. It would be very incongruous.
If you are telling the truth, then you can speak gently, and your words will have power.
