Rectification of Names

Rectification of Names is a Buddhist concept that emphasizes the importance of using accurate and appropriate language when referring to things, ideas, or individuals. It involves aligning words with their true essence or nature, ensuring that naming accurately reflects reality. This practice promotes clarity, mutual understanding, and harmony, as mislabeling or incorrect terminology can lead to misunderstanding or confusion. By properly "rectifying" names, practitioners aim to maintain integrity in communication, foster ethical relationships, and support the realization of truth in both speech and thought.
