Following the Rule of Saint Benedict, like any nuns or monks in other Trappist monasteries, the monks of Lamanabi live independently by doing various manual works to feed themselves, such as producing candles,^[2] and doing all of the household works by themselves.

Lamanabi Monastery is known as the "choice of pilgrim" seeking "silence and peace",^[3] with Frans Seda and some of the Kompas Gramedia's executives reportedly had made a "pilgrimage" to the monastery.^[4]
