The Project
The creation by certain cultures and religions of ways of life dedicated to the perfection of the self and the seclusion from the world by joining the organisational structures of a monastic community is an acknowledged phenomenon based on anthropological factors. The monastic form of life could and can still be found in Latin as well as Orthodox, Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian and Syriac Christianity and also in Indian Hinduism and Jainism as well as in different forms of Buddhism.
