Priests, Monks, Yogis, Rishis & Maharishis
A monk can be associated with both Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, monks may follow specific paths like sannyasa or take up vows as ascetics, while in Buddhism, monks follow the monastic code and teachings of the Buddha. Ultimately, the designation of a monk as Hindu or Buddhist depends on their religious affiliation and the tradition they follow.
Jainism spread in India whereas Buddhism spread in other countries because Jain monks aren't allowed to travel overseas.
