Synopsis

Four prominent Buddhists discuss Saint Benedict's Rule and the monastic tradition. Four prominent Buddhist scholars turn their attention to the classic text of Western Monasticism- The Rule of St Benedict. Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful comparison, they reveal how the widsom of each monastic tradition can revitalise the other. Norman Fischer Joseph Goldstein Judith Simmer-Brown Yifa 'Benedict's Dharma combines the thrill of watching a dazzling performance with the secret pleaseure of revesdropping on a private conversation. In commenting on the rule of St Benedict, the contributors are not trying to say anything new or startling, yet, for that very reason, they do. I am deeply grateful for this book. Brother David Steindl-Rast OSB
