On monasteries
Another complication brought by modern way of life is monasteries. Still being a very respective institute, the differences between monastery life and worldly life are way bigger now than, let’s say, 1000 years ago. For that time, going to the monastery was not uncommon, good and respectable move. For our time, going to the monastery is something in between crazy and heroic.
Ages ago, monasteries has played a big role in the life of the society. Nowadays, they’re existing very much on their own, decreasing influence of Buddhism on the society greatly.
