............... while it did make me chuckle that that section was omitted as others were, i thought it a great example. I imagined a monk teaching his students about silence by simply standing there, staring them down.
One thing i found particularly interesting was that when a person wanted to become a monk, and he presented himself at the door, that he was left outside for days to test his resolve. It also seemed that he would be ridiculed while out there. It all makes sense though considering what a faithful monk would have to endure and adhere to in living the laws.
