Book Description: Putnam Publishing Group, The, New York, NY, U.S.A., 2001. Cloth. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First edition. 223 pp. Saint Benedict's Rule -- a set of guidelines that has governed Christian monastic life since the 6th century—continues to fascinate laypeople and monastic scholars alike, including Buddhist monks and nuns who are intrigued by the similarities between their traditions and those of their Christian counterparts. Following a 1996 Christian-Buddhist conference at Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky on the modern interpretation of Benedictine spirituality, Buddhist scholars Norman Fischer, Joseph Goldstein, Judith Simmer-Brown, and Yifa wrote these responses to the seminal text. In this thoughtful and lively book, full of personal anecdotes, they reveal how the wisdom of each monastic tradition can revitalize the other—and how their own spiritual practices have been enriched through familiarity with the Rule. This edition contains a complete translation of Saint Benedict's Rule. Mint condition, in mylar cover. Bookseller Inventory # 004529
