It explores the spiritual and historical roots of Western monasticism, focusing on the Rule of St. Benedict. The book places Benedictine spirituality in dialogue with older ascetic traditions from Asia, such as Hindu, Buddhist, and early Christian Eastern practices. Through comparative study, de Dreuille highlights universal principles of monastic life—silence, obedience, prayer, and detachment—tracing their evolution and adaptation across cultures and religious landscapes. It is both a scholarly and spiritual reflection on how ascetic ideals have shaped human quests for transcendence.
Note: The First and the Last pages has some minor stains, although the inside pages are in excellent condition.
