by Palladius
'Paradise, or Garden of the Holy Fathers (Book 3) (The Rule of Pachomius at Tabenna)' Summary
This volume of Palladius's "Paradise, or Garden of the Holy Fathers" is dedicated to the Rule of Pachomius, a foundational figure in early Christian monasticism. Pachomius, inspired by the example of St. Anthony, established a communal monastic community at Tabenna in Egypt. The book delves into the practical details of Pachomius's rule, outlining the daily life, spiritual practices, and communal structure of his monastery. The Rule emphasizes simplicity, obedience, manual labor, and prayer, while also outlining specific guidelines for dealing with conflict, managing resources, and maintaining order within the community. Palladius records stories of the monks' virtues, struggles, and the profound spiritual experiences they encountered. Through these narratives, we witness the transformative power of monastic life and the enduring legacy of Pachomius's vision for a life dedicated to God.Book Details
