After an introductory outline of the nature of creating an "other" we look at three ways of practicing:
1. Studying the process of "othering" in oneself, in relation to both others and self;
2. Countering the process of othering and
3. Developing farther universal belonging, the "beloved community".

We continue with our exploration of ethical practice, set in the context of the overall training to awaken. We focus in this first session on Fourth Precept ("Right" or "Wise" Speech) on the four core ethical guidelines for speech (truthfulness, helpfulness, speaking from the heart, and good timing/appropriateness of the speech), in the context of the general importance of speech practice, suggesting a number of ways of practicing.
