monastic communities  

Définition(s)

  • The idea of a monastic community begins in a paradox: Amonk's goal is to achieve a solitary, existentially singular encounter with the Divine, which by its nature cannot be shared. However, the methods designed to prepare a seeker for the beatific transformation is learned, so teaching and mutual support, which are community endeavors, are necessary aspects of monasticism.
