Let us accept the invitation from the Stillness

Let us accept the invitation, ever open, from the Stillness, taste its exquisite sweetness, and heed its silent instruction.

~ Paul Brunton

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.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple: The philosophy is kindness.

~H. H. the Dalai Lama (from Liz)
