The Cloister 

A Cloister is not a Space of
burial , it is not a place of lonliness..
It is a land of dynamism, where the wolrdly passions remoulded into new forms of energy. 
A monastry is a place, where your essence should rejenuvated in the spirit of Self Transcendence.There is no shadows in a monastry..only the clear images of God. Because this is a place to see your self without any masks..
A monk is free from all vanities of this world. A monk must  be free from  this world and its bondages to love God. By allowing the complete space for God, a monk became the bearer of God. Gradually this will become a mutal bearing between God and man.Then there will be a heaven on this earth.
