The Benevolent Way
Each day, humanity wrestles with the tension between abundance and scarcity, between trust and fear. We see a world teeming with gifts—soil producing endless harvests, rain nourishing the earth, and air sustaining our breath. Yet doubt creeps in. We wonder, can this benevolence endure? Are we too broken, too selfish to align with such generosity…
Being part of a contemplative community doesn’t require living in a monastery. Instead, it’s about intentionally embracing a shared rhythm of life, wherever you are. This modern approach allows us to integrate contemplative practices into our daily routines, fostering spiritual growth and connection while remaining engaged in the world. It offers a way to experience the richness of monastic traditions without withdrawing from society. By adopting this rhythm, we create a “monastery without walls,” nurturing our inner lives through contemplation while actively participating in our communities and relationships. To explore this concept further and discover how you can incorporate these practices into your life, we invite you to read Contemplative Interbeing’s Rhythm of Life.
