The Voice of the Silence

More about the book

Focusing on the paths to Buddhist enlightenment, the book presents a translation of key excerpts from an ancient sacred text by Helena Blavatsky. It contrasts the selfish pursuit of personal relief with the altruistic journey of the Bodhisattva, emphasizing a commitment to helping others. Blavatsky, a prominent figure in the Theosophical Society, draws from her extensive studies in India and Tibet, providing insights into Buddhist terminology and practices. This work has played a crucial role in introducing and expanding Buddhism in the Western world.
