Listen "Empire of Noble Silence"
Episode Synopsis
“Empire of Noble Silence” is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha that looks at how Christopher Ruocchio’s wonderful book Empire of Silence unexpectedly echoes one of the oldest Dharma stories we have; the prince who leaves the palace and finally sees the world as it is. Hadrian’s journey reminds us that awakening begins the moment we step outside our own comfort and truly see. The dharma can be found everywhere we look with the eyes of wisdom, and good fiction can open that door…Ruocchio does it beautifully. I hope that I have represented his work well here, in my way, and that you will go an find his books (at the links below) and see if you find your own bit of wisdom, in addition to a beautifully crafted tale!
