Monks were forbidden to have any contact with anyone outside their monastery except in very strictly-regulated meetings with someone else present. They could accept no gifts, letters, tokens or anything else.

Monks were permitted to converse with each other at certain times but were not allowed to waste time with idle chatter or gossip, so there was little opportunity to make friends with their fellow monks. On many occasions, such as at meals, strict silence was enforced.
