'Engaging deep silence does not depend on specialized language, celebrity gurus, exotic practices, weird phenomena, education, or belief. If costs nothing. It is quintessentially simple, and therefore difficult for modern people to realize fully; and it is, paradoxically, both far more personal and fr more objective than any claims of the self-conscious mind. ...
The work of silence is the source of healthy community, for the health and character of community is dependent on the quality of solitudes that make it up; the reconciling character of shared silence is formed in the deep mind of each person.'
