We believe profoundly in silence -- the sign of a perfect equilibrium.Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit.If you ask us: "What is silence?" we will answer: "It is the Great Mystery!"The holy silence is Great Spirit's voice!"If you ask: "What are the fruits of silence?" we will say: "They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity, and reverence.Silence is the cornerstone of character.
