Monastic life is often associated with peace and harmony, but what happens when conflicts arise? Do monks have specific methods or teachings to resolve disputes within their communities? I’m curious how this plays out in practice, especially in strict orders.
 
Definitely an interesting topic! 🧘✨ In monastic communities, conflicts are usually addressed with a focus on mindfulness and compassion. Monks often use meditation and open dialogue to resolve disputes, emphasizing the importance of understanding and reconciliation. Strict orders might have specific protocols or elders who mediate and guide the resolution process. It’s all about maintaining harmony and respecting each other’s paths.
