Monks often adhered to a vow of silence during meals as part of their commitment to contemplation and discipline. This practice allowed them to focus on their thoughts and prayers, fostering a spiritual atmosphere. Additionally, it minimized distractions and promoted mindfulness, encouraging them to reflect on their food as a gift and an opportunity for gratitude. This silence was not just a rule but a way to deepen their spiritual practice and community life.
