Managing monks
About this book
Looked at in one light, monastic administrators are at the top of the monastic hierarchy. From another perspective, however they are divorced from the main purpose of monastic life. In this book, Jonathan Silk examines the way in which this question was debated in the formative years of Indian Buddhism.
