A publishing phenomenon in Spain: a moving, lyrical, far-ranging meditation on the deep joys of confronting oneself through silence by a Spanish priest and Zen disciple.

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 meditationWith 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.
