Re: Monastic Rule

Amazing, Seishin. Thanks for sharing.
Is there any reference on St. Romuald being influenced by Buddhism when he created that rule? Or did he just make an independent discovery?

Re: Monastic Rule

It never ceases to amaze me that things like this are present in every religion. That no matter what faith or creed you identify with, if you search just a little, somewhere in all the dogma you'll find little bits and pieces that are identical with little bits and pieces found in a completely different religion, separated from the first by centuries, continents, oceans, cultures, and languages.

But, at their heart, always the same.

It always amazes me too. Zen is so natural to people that all through the ages we can see it being part of our history.

Thanks Kyrill!

It always seems there is a lesson to be learned each way we turn and from each in turn...
Thank you, Kyrill.
