The karma of malicious gossip and slander are often misfortunes and miseries, and often you get to experience the harm caused by your gossip or slander. That is why the Buddha said:

“It is little harm if one loses money in gambling with dice, even losing everything, including oneself. But if one talks ill of others, it is of greater harm. Insulting people of real worth and bearing ill-will in thought and speech lead to eons upon eons of misery and pain.”

Gossip and slander cause much pain and often produce irreversible effects. It is wise to think twice before you speak anything. Here, a Great Master gives an invaluable guidance: “It is well to speak little; better still to say nothing, unless you are quite sure that what you wish to say is true, kind, helpful.

Before speaking think carefully whether what you are going to say has those three qualities; if it has not, do not say it.”
