Hugo Lindo Olivares

Was born on October 13, 1917, in La Union, El Salvador, into a family with scarce resources and the good vision to provide its offspring the best possible education within its means.

He attended secondary school a the Colegio Garcia Flamenco, in San Salvador, At the University of El Salvador he studied Law and Social Sciences. He took time off his studies to travel to Chile, a visit that expanded his horizons.

"Obviously that all that broadened my world. Before I left my world was San Salvador, which was then one tenth the city it is today, I was a small town boy dazzled by a five-story building that I could not conceive. A boy who went to the theater and to exhibitions, who listened to conversations and conferences of high culture. It was definitely an enrichment of my spiritual life.

In 1947 a diplomatic mission took him to Korea where he came in contact with a culture which is totally different from that of the west and appreciated other ways to view life.

"I went to a Shintoist wedding and visited several Buddhist temples. In Japan I took part in a Buddhist contemplative seminar and all these experiences were like a forceps that extended a view of the world that wasn't as constricted as the one I had before leaving."

Ever since, meditation practice and the search for the Absolute through introspection became lifelong habits.

Between 1948 and 1949 he was a government officer in some capacity

including that of law counselor to the Justice Ministry. In 1951 he was

appointed, and then elected, municipal trustee.

At the end of the following year he was sent to Chile, first as

chargé d'affaires and afterwards as ambassador until 1959. Having requested,

for personal reasons, a posting closer to El Salvador, he was assigned as

ambassador to Colombia; he remained in Bogota until the end of 1960 when he

returned to El Salvador.
