Monastic Life

[AutumnFresh]

I would dearly love to know some of the insights gained from the life at the Monastery, why Mr. Cohen went, what were his expectations, why he left and of course in between, what did he learn. I am certain there were profound lessons. Did he anticipate staying there or was it originally a time limited venture? Has he shared this somewhere, can anyone direct me?

Hi Autumnfresh,

Check out these links:

(you will have to cut and paste these to access them).

You'll also find more, if you type "Leonard Mount Baldy" into youtube.

I believe that Sylvie Simmons book on Leonard (due in October) will also be throwing some new light on this period of Leonard's life.

All good things, John E
