5 Buddha monastic fasting rules that can make you lose weight
The Buddhist diet is mostly vegetarian or vegan, focusing on fresh, seasonal, and unprocessed foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. Monks avoid rich, spicy, or overly sweet foods that can trigger cravings or discomfort. This simple, plant-based diet is low in calories but high in nutrients, which supports weight loss and overall well-being. #Buddha #monastic #fasting #rules #lose…

An Echo of Grosmont Priory
The Grandmontine Priory of Grosmont was established around 1200 at a site overlooking the River Esk. It was one Joan de Turnham who granted the site to the monks, and according to the deed of gift, a "mansion house" already existed there. Its surrounding fields, covering about 200 acres, were already in cultivation, evidenced by the use of the word "l ...

Today I finished transcribing the monastic chronicle from the convent I’m researching. The back portion included two Latin abstracts and one German abstract which largely agree in content but not always exact details. It’s clear that there was an effort to elevate one of the early Maisterin, so we get two short miracle stories in and among other details
The work of assessment is a task for another day; today we celebrate “being done, part one”!

Any thoughts or ideas on publicising the Kowethas Kernow project?
It's essentially designed to be a dispersed Celtic Monastic-style community for people who enjoy traditional forms of church (music, art, architecture, food, liturgy etc) but who are also doubters, dissenters, heretics, agnostics, atheists, and Humanists.

Update on the 1618 comet:
for some reason, the back part of the chronicle has a somewhat revised narrative; this one mentions that the comet ("star") has multiple tails. The narrator here is less daunted by the event than was the early.
If it were my period, I'd be doing a detailed comparison of the differences. Neat that it's there, though! Did the sisters have second thoughts about the gloom-and-doomness of the principle text?

Cool; my nun reports on the brightest of the three comets of 1618, and uses it as occasion to pray "for the Christian church, which is in the greatest danger, and for the House of Austria"
Clearly, anxiety is still running high. (We're less than a decade away from the great storm); trauma-informed readings of natural events are still at the core of this section of the chronicle.
This 17th century narrator is excessively interested in the weather. On the other had, the nuns nearly starved after the horrible storm wiped out the crops one fall, so we are seeing the legacy of #trauma in what draws her attention

“We come to know God as love, as light, and as indwelling presence, so that we may become love and light and presence for others. In this season, reflect on how you can come to know God more fully. Pray that you may live and act so that others may know God through you.”

I'm entering the 3-month vassa period near Lake Tahoe, California.
This period is one where Buddhist monastics commit to staying in one place. Often, monastics use this time to intensify one's meditation practice, or to study the rules of being a monk.
