Book Synopsis Domestic Monastery by : Ronald Rolheiser
Download or read book Domestic Monastery written by Ronald Rolheiser and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a monastery? A monastery is a place set apart—a place to learn the blessings of powerlessness, and that time is not ours but God’s. Our home and our duties can, just like a monastery, teach us those things. The vocation of monastic men and women is to physically withdraw from the world. But the principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries. Certain vocations offer the same kind of opportunity for contemplation, and provide a desert for reflection. These writings are beautifully presented in a special cloth packaging, hardcover edition. In ten brief and powerful chapters, Fr. Ron explores how the life of the monastery can apply to those who don't live inside the walls of the cloister: Monasticism and Family Life The Domestic Monastery Real Friendship Lessons from the Monastic Cell Ritual for Sustaining Prayer Tensions within Spirituality A Spirituality of Parenting Spirituality and the Seasons of Our Lives The Sacredness of Time Life’s Key Question

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining memoir and paean for modern monastic life, Br. Benet Tvedten creates this charming book out of his love for his brothers, his place, his tradition. It has now been completely revised with many additional stories and colorful characters, and a new foreword from Kathleen Norris, author of Dakota, Cloister Walk, and many other books. It is often presumed that people who live in monasteries are either exceptionally holy or exceedingly strange. But A View from a Monastery portrays monks as ordinary men, some of whom are as quirky as the rest of us. Although monastic life differs from secular life in many remarkable ways, readers will discover that the monks themselves are not extraordinary. There are, however, certain characters in every monastery whose lives and personalities provide good material for storytelling'and Br. Benet is a charming teller of stories. This book is not intended for the reader who will be disappointed to learn that monks are fully human and always fal

Book Synopsis The Monastery Rules by : Berthe Jansen
Download or read book The Monastery Rules written by Berthe Jansen and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. The Monastery Rules discusses the position of the monasteries in pre-1950s Tibetan Buddhist societies and how that position was informed by the far-reaching relationship of monastic Buddhism with Tibetan society, economy, law, and culture. Jansen focuses her study on monastic guidelines, or bca’ yig. The first study of its kind to examine the genre in detail, the book contains an exploration of its parallels in other Buddhist cultures, its connection to the Vinaya, and its value as socio-historical source-material. The guidelines are witness to certain socio-economic changes, while also containing rules that aim to change the monastery in order to preserve it. Jansen argues that the monastic institutions’ influence on society was maintained not merely due to prevailing power-relations, but also because of certain deep-rooted Buddhist beliefs.

Book Synopsis A Monastery in Time by : Caroline Humphrey
Download or read book A Monastery in Time written by Caroline Humphrey and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Monastery in Time is the first book to describe the life of a Mongolian Buddhist monastery—the Mergen Monastery in Inner Mongolia—from inside its walls. From the Qing occupation of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the Cultural Revolution, Caroline Humphrey and Hürelbaatar Ujeed tell a story of religious formation, suppression, and survival over a history that spans three centuries. Often overlooked in Buddhist studies, Mongolian Buddhism is an impressively self-sustaining tradition whose founding lama, the Third Mergen Gegen, transformed Tibetan Buddhism into an authentic counterpart using the Mongolian language. Drawing on fifteen years of fieldwork, Humphrey and Ujeed show how lamas have struggled to keep Mergen Gegen’s vision alive through tremendous political upheaval, and how such upheaval has inextricably fastened politics to religion for many of today’s practicing monks. Exploring the various ways Mongolian Buddhists have attempted to link the past, present, and future, Humphrey and Ujeed offer a compelling study of the interplay between the individual and the state, tradition and history.
