Utterly fascinating wasn’t it! I found the “Sex Worker” really interesting and probably the most honest and self aware of all of them.
Thanks for recommending it! It was wonderful and fascinating to watch.
Having spent some months in a Hindu monastery, for me it was personally rewarding to see a place of sacred contemplation and silence again.
Anyway, yes, quite interesting, a number of points learned. I also find it interesting to see how the different guys are getting different things out of it!
God’s sense of humour here. Just when I thought too many things about our society have slipped into dark places, and that reality tv ranked among the major pieces of evidence for this (so decided not even to risk being upset by watching one in a monastery) – just then, here’s evidence of God shows how grace can touch us. Most of my friends did watch The Monastery and I’m frankly moved by what I’m hearing from them all.
