Losing your peace

Anger destroys all ability to be at peace with yourself and with others. If you harm me, it is you who lose: you lose your peace.

~ Palden Gyatso

Newsletter Subscription

There is no cost to have the Friends of Silence monthly letter sent to you each month.

For the past 35 years, a small band of dedicated friends have poured their hearts and love into Friends of Silence.

Each month we send out the newsletter in print and email to a growing community of over 10,000 people.

The monthly newsletter of contemplative quotes remains free and is made possible by your generosity and support.

If our work brings you any hope and a sense of belonging, then please consider supporting our labor of love with a donation.

And if you’ve already given, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU.

Are we not called to communicate
a mystery of hope
to those around us
by the lives we lead?
