Abstract | This session will attempt to understand the history of Christian monasticism not based on the developmental model, but as an 'entangled' history of interactions across the periods and forms of monasticism. Comparing the Cistercians and the Jesuits with special reference to the Buddhist sects in medieval Japan, the process of self-transformation through the contact with ordinary people, influenced by the monastic norms inherited from the past, will be analysed. |
