Using comparative examples from Buddhism, Confucianism, and medieval Christianity, Kohn (religion and East Asian studies, Boston U.) describes the elements of daily life in Daoist monasteries. Initial chapters describe the monastic life in various religions and give the history of Daoist monasticism. Subsequent chapters describe the Daoist monastery's relation to society, the makeup of the buildings and compounds, elements of daily discipline, implements and vestments, and liturgy. The text is heavily annotated and includes an appendix describing the sources used. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
