How come Buddhists are sometimes bald?
Monks and nuns shave their heads to remind themselves that the bodies they inhabit in this life are uninportant. It is also a way to make all monks and all nuns look alike so they won't be distracted by vanity.
Why must a monk be bald?
Monks and nuns shave their heads for several reasons. One is that in many cultures one's hair is thought to be a sign of beauty, and caring for it can be an expression of vanity. Monks and nuns eschew not only vanity but individualism. Being bald makes them all look alike and removes a possible source of vanity. Another reason is that shaving the head is a symbol of leaving worldly concerns behind. Finally, it is very practical to be bald, as most monks and nuns of all denominations take vows of poverty, live in communal housing and engage in manual labor: lice can be a problem.
