This edition of H.P.B.’s “Voice of the Silence” is a reproduction of the 1889 edition published by William Q. Judge, to which verse numbers have been added. Romanized Sanskrit terms have been updated to modern IAST standards, except for three deviations meant to aid in proper pronunciation.The Voice of the Silence represents a collection of fragments from an ancient and unknown text called "The Book of the Golden Precepts". It outlines the two paths of spiritual enlightenment: the first, the path of spiritual selfishness, where the goal is one's own escape from suffering; and the second, the path of spiritual altruism, where the goal is to give oneself wholly to uplifting all of humanity. This second path is called the path of the Bodhisattva and is modeled on the Buddha's teachings. It is to encourage the few true mystics in this world to adopt this path of unselfish and unceasing service to humanity that the Voice of the Silence was written. Those interested in such a path will find all they need to start their journey in this little book. "Undoubtedly Madame Blavatsky had in some way been initiated into the deeper side of Mahayana teaching and then gave out what she deemed wise to the Western world..." (Eastern Buddhist, old series, 5:377) "Here is the real Mahayana Buddhism." (The Middle Way, August 1965, p. 90.) — D.T. Suzuki, Zen Buddhist "I believe that this book has strongly influenced many sincere seekers and aspirants to the wisdom and compassion of the Bodhisattva Path." — H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

About the Author

H. P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) was a theosophist, mystic and co-founder of the Theosophical Society. She has been dubbed the "mother of the new age" for the profound effect her promulgation of eastern mysticism has had on the spiritual thought of the west.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of the box Review
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
This is an out of the box review, I will update my review on the actual content after actually reading the book. I almost didn't purchase this book because one reviewer said this was an eBook. However, after looking more closely and choosing the format that I wanted I realized that I would actually receive a book that I can hold, which is what I wanted.

Shipping = Excellent (Well packaged to protect the book & delivered as promised with prime 1-Day)!
Condition= New
Quality=It's a basic paperback with nothing special to the binding or covering.

Translated & Annotated by = "H.P.B." Title = The Voice of The Silence being Chosen Fragments from the "Book of the Golden Precepts." For the Daily Use of Lanoos (Disciples)

It appears this book is printed upon request. The back of the book says printed in Coppell, Tx February 27, 2021 the same day that I ordered it. It has all the ISBN numbers and Copyright information published by Kshetra Books.

The book contains a Preface, Fragments I, II, & III, and a glossrary of Fragments I, II, & III. There are 45 Pages. There are no illustrations.

I look forward to reading this. I will update my review on content after reading this, which may be a few months from now or longer. I hope this helps with the basics.

I listened to Pablo Sender’s 4-part talks on youtube The Voice of the Silence (The Theosophical Society of America) as I was reading this little book. It really helped with a clearer understanding of the text, which is not easy to follow. Helena Blavatsky was instrumental in bringing the ancient Tibetan wisdom to the West in the 1880s. The more I discover about her, Dr Annie Besant, Alice Bailey and other powerful spiritual trailblazers the more I admire them.
