| | Monasticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Buddhist monastic order is theoretically devided into two assemblies, the male bhikkhu assembley, and the female bhikkhuni assembly. | | | The Buddhist monastic lifestyle grew out of the lifestyle of earlier sects of wandering ascetics, some of whom the Buddha had studied under, and was initially fairly eremetic in nature. | | | The order of Buddhist monks and nuns was founded by Gautama Buddha during his lifetime of over 2500 years ago. |

| | Benedictine Order |
| | A bishop of a monastic see has fewer patronage resources with which to reward the secular clergy of his entourage, since the monks hold a significant portion of the episcopal lands [39]. | | | Indeed, when zealous reformers founded the new, more austere monastic orders in the last century, they were reacting in part to what they saw as the opulent and greedy Benedictine houses [4]. | | | Monastics are supposed to freely choose the cloistered life, not be forced into it, yet children offered to a religious house as oblates have no choice but to be professed. |

| | Orders of Chivalry in France |
| | Military-monastic orders appears during the first Crusades: their members were usually monks who also served as soldiers or caretakers to protect pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land, or otherwise assist in the struggle against infidels. | | | In 1572 the order was placed under the protection of the duke of Savoie and merged with that house's Order of Saint-Maurice, and became one of the dynastic orders of Savoie and later Italy, bestowed to this day by the head of the house of Savoie. | | | The orders in the Holy Land were often the recipients of many donations, often in the form of estates, in all of Europe. |

| | Monasticism |
| | Generally, the leaders of the Reformation believed that the monastics did not in fact conform to a simple gospel rule of life, that their repetitive prayers, fasts, and ceremonies were meaningless and that they had no real value to society. | | | Those monastics who had kept their vows were seen as cut off from true Christian freedom in lives that were futile and unfulfilled. | | | Monasticism, also monachism, is a mode of life practiced by persons who have abandoned the world for religious reasons and devote their lives, either separately or in community, to spiritual perfection. |

| | Monastic Art and Architecture |
| | Western monastic art and architecture, as widespread and various as Christianity, takes its special character from the aspirations of members of monastic religious communities who have turned their thoughts away from the world and dedicated themselves to living under a regula ("rule"). | | | Central to all monastic life were the devotions in the church and the liturgical requirements of the Hours and the Mass. | | | Those religious orders which sought the adornment of their prayers in the splendor of their buildings and through the assistance of costly books and ornaments had, however, an unanswerable case. |

| | Any such thing was rendered impossible by the circumstances in which the early Christians were placed, for in the first century or so of the Church's existence the idea of living apart from the congregation of the faithful, or of forming within it associations to practise special renunciations in common was out of the question. | | | Consequently when a man dedicates to God all that he has, all that he takes pleasure in, and all that he is, he offers a holocaust; and this he does pre-eminently by the three religious vows. | | | The monks copied the Scriptures for their own use in the Church services and, when their cloisters developed into schools, as the march of events made it inevitable they should, they copied such monuments of classical literature as were preserved. |

| | History of Orders of Chivalry |
| | Orders of chivalry, like the Church in general, were recipients of many donations, often in the form of land (e.g., a lord would become a knight and give his possessions to his order). | | | At this point, then, orders of chivalry are an association of individuals, typically members of the knightly class, committing themselves through solemn vows to obey the rules and statutes of a religious order and to engage as professional soldiers in a permanent religious war, but also in religious and charitable activities. | | | The Order of Saint-Louis was a transparent allusion to Louis XIV disguised as a religious dedication, but Maria-Theresa was the first to be explicit; she was followed by Charles III, and in the 19th century by many sovereigns (queens in particular). |

| | Possibly it was the presence in the Cocalico settlement of the two sisters Eicher and other "spiritual virgins," somewhat embarrassingly situated, that influenced the leader to institute monastic houses, or at least a nunnery, for their better seclusion from the world. | | | The single brethren and sisters, the solitaries, were mostly irresponsible, in that their thoughts were not on the affairs of this world; consequently they were apt to forget even to provide for their own sustenance. | | | There was one important difference, or there should have been if the heads of families after their "awakening" strictly followed the doctrines advocated by Beissel; but it does not seem that in all the households Beissel's recommendation of continence was rigidly followed. |
