A monk is a man who is a member of a religious group made up of only men, who often live together in one building. Monks wear special but simple clothing, including a long robe with long sleeves. Monks live a simple life and do not marry. They spend time praying every day, and they do chores in the place where they live, like cooking, planting fruits and vegetables, washing, and cleaning. Some monks spend time studying and writing, and some do work for charity. |
