The teaching of the Buddha is open to everyone. That teaching can be divided into two major parts, namely the part intended for lay people and the part mainly intended for monks and nuns. Much has been written about the life of the monks. But the Buddha advised that lay people should not follow the way of life of monks. Because the way of life of lay people is very different. The Buddha also gave many speeches to the laity. And even lay people can realize perfect holiness. In this brief overview of the life and teaching of the Buddha Gotama, we have mainly dealt with that which is intended for the laity. [mehr]

In The King's Achievement, Benson tells the story of a fictitious family during the time of King Henry VIII's dissolution of English monasteries. The brothers of the Torridon family make their way in the world -- the eldest, Ralph, in service to Cromwell and the youngest, Christopher, in service to God and the Catholic church as a monk in the Priory at Lewes. Their paths carry them to completely different destinations and Ralph is instrumental in turning Christopher and his fellow monks out of their monastery. Christopher, however, manages to rise above his pride and anger and ministers to Ralph in his hour of need. [mehr]

Though it was yet early when the company entered the hall on the morrow, they found Madame Oisille there before them. She had been meditating for more than half-an-hour upon the lesson that she was going to read; and if she had contented them on the first and second days, she assuredly did no less on the third; indeed, but that one of the monks came in search of them they would not have heard high mass, for so intent were they upon listening to her that they did not even hear the bell.

"From each of his seven hives, worker bees fanned out each morning to seek out fragrant flowers, welcomed by neighbours as friends and pollinators. They were nature’s midwives ensuring the next generation of plants produced seed. When he was working with the hives in the sun he felt uniquely calmed as the drone of their wings set up an effect in his head not unlike the meditative chant of monks. Today they were late in getting going. The temperature had dropped a little recently and they did not become active until the chill damp of the morning had gone. He walked between the hives looking over them closely. He felt a fatherly concern for these little creatures – insects they may be, but science had proved them intelligent, industrious and, in their own society, amazingly co-operative with each other and caring to their young."
