Vow of Silence

A Vow of Silence is a personal or spiritual commitment to abstain from speaking for a specific period. It is often practiced to promote self-awareness, inner peace, or spiritual growth, allowing individuals to focus inward and reduce external distractions. Participants may adopt this vow temporarily, such as during meditation retreats, or as a long-term discipline, depending on their intentions. It is not necessarily permanent and can be part of religious, spiritual, or personal development practices. The goal is to cultivate mindfulness, patience, and deeper understanding by minimizing verbal communication.
