Monastic Code

The Monastic Code refers to a set of guidelines and ethical principles followed by monks and nuns to guide their spiritual practice and daily conduct. It emphasizes virtues such as discipline, mindfulness, simplicity, compassion, and self-control. These codes help maintain harmony within monastic communities, foster spiritual growth, and support living a life dedicated to religious ideals. While specific rules vary across traditions, their core purpose is to promote a disciplined, ethical lifestyle that enables practitioners to deepen their understanding and connection to their faith.
