In that the CHristian religion is only 2000 years old and many religions are much older there are many others that have monks. The term monks is pretty much undefined. If you take it that monks are a group of men living in a religious community under promises to meet several criteria (e.g. chastity, poverty, obedience) then you probably identify Hindu and Buddhists who met these criteria.
