Rules In Manichaean Monasteries Rules In A Manichaean Monastan By Abba Yesai Nasrai, O:N:E: The conduct of Manichaean Electi and Electae was determined by a text they called the "Rule of Life". Like so many other moanstic rules, this Rule would have laid down the details for Manicahean Monastan life: "The rule of life in the epistle of Manichaeus was laid before them. Many thought it intolerable, and left; not a few felt ashamed, and stayed. They began to live as they had agreed, and as this high authority enjoined. - Morals of the Manichaeans, chapter 20, by AugustineWithin this text would have been the rules set down to be observed by both monks and nuns in Manichaean monasteries. With it would have been certain oral and secret traditions which were also handed down among the three upper levels of Mani's heirarchy above the Monastic level. Peace to all . . . |
