Truthfulness
According to Ajahn Sucitto in his book Parami: Ways to Cross Life’s Floods, the parami of truthfulness can be understood in two ways. The obvious way is that we do not tell lies or mislead others with our speech (including written communication). The other way, Ajahn Sucitto says, “refers to perception, to the ability to see or know things in an undistorted way.” This second way requires us to be totally honest with ourselves and to see with clarity, which involves bringing mindfulness to each moment.
