Monk

Monk
A monk (; from Greek: μοναχός, monachos, 'single, solitary', via Latin monachus) is a man who is a member of a religious order and lives in a monastery. A monk usually lives his life in prayer and contemplation. The concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions, and in philosophy, across numerous cultures. Monasticism is historically rooted in the Sramana movements of ancient India, which produced the structured ascetic orders of Jainism and Buddhism. Benedict of Nursia is considered to be the originator of western monasticism.
