Book excerpt: The peculiar value of the book becomes apparent when we remember that Mr. Joseph McCabe was formerly Father Antony, a Grey Friar or a member of the English section of the Order of St. Francis. He sums up his experiences in these words: "The writer, after spending twelve years in various monasteries of the Franciscan Order, found himself compelled, in the early part of last year (1896), to secede from the Roman Catholic priesthood. During those years, besides a long familiarity with the tenor of monastic life, a large experience of Catholic educational, polemical, and administrative methods has been accumulated, and it may not be inopportune to set it forth in simple narrative." For the Protestant there is always an air of mystery around the institutions of the Roman Catholic Church. He has often been victimized by the wild and repulsive stories of "the escaped monk." The accounts of monastic life by such men are evidently extremely onesided and bear the marks of exaggeration, to say the least Mr. McCabe is not an "escaped monk" of that kind. He has not simply laid off the monastic garb, but he has put on a manner of life differing in principle and practice from that of the monk. He is an intelligent convert from Catholicism and withal a gentleman in the description of the institution he has left behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twelve Years in a Monastery Monasticism, inseparable as it is from every great religious system, seems to emanate spontaneously from the fundamental religious idea. China, India, and Europe, despite their marked divergence in conceiving the ultimate objects of religious belief, and the distinct racial and territorial influences that have affected their development, have been equally prolific in monastic institutions - they seem to be evoked by the simple rudimentary story which is common to them all. And, indeed, we cannot wonder that that story has engendered and organised abdication of earthly joys such as the monastic system embodies.

Book excerpt: At the age of thirty, Kaoru Nonomura left his family, his girlfriend, and his job as a designer to undertake a year of ascetic training at Eiheiji, one of the most rigorous Zen training temples in Japan. This book is Nonomura's account of his experiences. He skillfully describes every aspect of training, including how to meditate, how to eat, how to wash, and even how to use the toilet, in a way that is easy to understand even for readers with no knowledge of Zen Buddhism. This first-person account also describes Nonomura's struggles in the face of beatings, hunger, exhaustion, fear, and loneliness, the comfort he draws from his friendships with the other trainees, and his quiet determination to give his life spiritual meaning. After writing Eat Sleep Sit, Kaoru Nonomura returned to his normal life as a designer, but his book has maintained its popularity in Japan, selling more than 100,000 copies since its first printing in 1996. Beautifully written, and a fascinating insight into a lifestyle of hardships that few people could endure, this is a book that will appeal to all those with an interest in Zen Buddhism and to anyone with an interest in the quest for spiritual growth.
