[QUOTE="nagareboshi, post: 1565433, member: 20216"] What I mean is, on the monastery grounds themselves there is some work to be done, with gardening, assisting with construction, providing transportation to those who need it, etc. You would not be a monk but someone who lives in the town who provides services and is paid for it. Also, the food that is blessed by a priest or abbot will have protective qualities and will be more nutritious. Edit: I don’t have personal experience with monastery work, but this is what I read about Mount Athos. Your experience may vary with North American monasteries but it’s worth inquiring. [/QUOTE]
