"The real glory of meditation lies not in any method but in its continual living experience of presence." --Sogyal Rinpoche

Monks Dot Com

Father Bernard needed some ink cartridges for their monastery, the Cistercian Abbey. What he ended up with was a dot-com business -- LaserMonks -- that sold printer supplies worth $2000 in 2002. By the end of last year, they had over half a million dollars in sales and an incredible fundraiser for the monastery! "Why buy it from Office Depot or Office Max?" Rev. Bernard McCoy said, eyes twinkling. "They don't pray for you, I promise you that."
