Not Very Far from the Madding Crowd: Toward Revising Some Views of the Indian Buddhist Monastery.
The Buddhist "monastery" in early India is still commonly represented as a quiet place of calm retreat and withdrawal cut off from the commotion of ordinary life, from economic and social interactions.
