What is monasticism? It is a response, found in various religions under diverse forms, to the human need to stand apart from the frantic pace of the world and explore instead the ultimate meaning of existence. By clearing away the ephemeral clutter of life, the monk hopes to find God -- or, rather, allows God to find him. |
