Biography of Silence | Free Book
With silence increasingly becoming a stranger to us, one man set out to become its intimate: Pablo d'Ors, a Catholic priest whose life was changed by Zen meditation. With disarming honesty and directness, as well as a striking clarity of language, d'Ors shares his struggles as a beginning meditator: the tedium, restlessness, and distraction. But, persevering, the author discovers not only a deep peace and understanding of his true nature, but also that silence, rather than being a retreat from life, offers us an intense engagement with life just as it is. Imbued with a rare beauty, Biography of Silence shows us the deep joy of silence that is available to us all.
In The Press
"In accessible language reminiscent of Thomas Merton, d’Ors’s
enchanting book, a bestseller in Spain, channels his Catholic
spiritual heritage into a persuasive meditation guide for Western
readers." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Biography of Silence
invites us to stop and catch our breath. Each chapter inspires a
hunger for the contemplative silence the author has come to love with
such contagious affection. The word ‘God’ is mentioned only a handful
of times, but few books have rendered me more vulnerable to a divine
encounter. Pablo d'Ors has given us a literary and spiritual gift.”
—Brian D. McLaren, The Great Spiritual Migration
"Biography of Silence is a poetic yet baldly
honest account of what it means to persevere with meditation." —Lion's Roar
