      Deep, compassionate listening is essential to the creation of peace -

personal, interpersonal,community national, and international peace. 

In this practice you listen with all your mindfulness and 

concentration in order to give someone  who is suffering a chance to speak out.

 Even  if his speech is full of condemnation bitterness, and blame, 
you still listen, 

because you that to listen like this is to give him a chance to move 
in the direction of peace. If you interrupt, deny, or correct everything he says, 

he will have no chance to make peace. 

Deep listening allows the other person to speak, 

even if what he says contains wrong 

perceptions, bitterness, and injustice.

       The intention of listening is to restore communication,
because once communication is to restored, everything is possible.
I have seen many couples practice deep listening and loving speech and
 restore difficult or broken  relationship. Many fathers and sons,
mothers and daughters, and husbands and wives have brought happiness
back to their families through this practice.
They have practiced mindful breathing and walking to calm themselves.
 Then, with the practice of deep, compassionate listening and loving speech,
they have reconciled.
