What makes a monastery a sacred place ?
A sacred place may be visited by a tourist or by a historian or by an archaeologist.Each one of them, of course, looks at it from a different point of view. For some people that place may also be a dwelling place.My talk will attempt to give you the point of view of someone who lives in a sacred place, and who tries to reflect on the meaning of that place – the meaning it has for his own life and for the life of those who live there with him, and also for the life of all the people who come there either for a short visit or for a longer stay.
