@HarounRashid2 #Monasteries were the bastion of discovery and enquiry. Monasteries were cradles of literacy, nurtured and conserved the masterpieces works by Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, and Aristotle. They were the harbinger of the Universities assembling the best setting for the ideal knowledge.
@HarounRashid2 The Monastic trend was built around the #Rule_of_Benedict. Benedict 1,500 years ago had come up with a guide for developing sustainable communities to play a key role in conserving the knowledge of the past and building a social fabric that delivered durable climate for growth.
@HarounRashid2 Benedict's rule for beginners put all of the members irrespective of age, wealth, and prominence on the same footing. The rank in a cross-generational community, from youths to men of advanced years, who go on living together year after year was governed by a chosen #abbot.
