Encyclopedia > The Voice of the Silence (Blavatsky)

The Voice of the Silence is a book by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. It was written in Fontainebleau and published in 1889.


Zen Buddhism scholar Dr Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki wrote about the 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) He also commented: "Here is the real Mahayana Buddhism." (The Middle Way, August 1965, p. 90.)

He was similarly influenced during this period by Richard Wagner's LOHNEGRIN which seemed to Kandinsky to push the limits of music and melody beyond standard lyricism.
Kandinsky was also spiritually influenced by H. Blavatsky (1831-91), the most important exponent of Theosophy in modern times.
The fl is a nothingness without possibility, it is an eternal silence without hope, it corresponds to death.
