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 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.

Había escuchado y leído que este era un libro muy recomendado. Entonces, por curiosidad, lo compré, y es realmente profundo, humano, detallado y bonito en contar un camino muy personal, que es el meditar. A la vez sentí curiosidad, familiaridad, y ganas de... aprender hubiese dicho... pero en realidad es ganas de vacearme más... En todo caso, es cómo un gran recordatorio sobre seguir sentándome a encontrarme con la vida.

Un gran libro
