Description

The Voice of the Silence represents a collection of fragments from an ancient and unknown text called “The Book of the Golden Precepts”. It outlines the two paths of spiritual enlightenment: the first, the path of spiritual selfishness, where the goal is one’s own escape from suffering; and the second, the path of spiritual altruism, where the goal is to give oneself wholly to uplifting all of humanity. This second path is called the path of the Bodhisattva and is modeled on the Buddha’s teachings. It is to encourage the few true mystics in this world to adopt this path of unselfish and unceasing service to humanity that the Voice of the Silence was written.
