~~Monasticism~~
Hi, I just wanted to open a new thread to discuss the topic, "Monasticism." I'm really interested in this topic since I am actually thinking about becoming a monk. Thank You and God Bless You!

The three vows of monasticism are purity, obedience and poverty
In addition, monks are earthly angels or heavenly humans

Particularly the book "the Sublimity of Monasticism"-- it will answer some of your questions.
I too am interested in what people have to say regarding the topic.
