I am not sure whether you mean where in the world or where in their communities, so I will answer both. Buddhists can be found on all continents except Antarctica (unless, of course one happens to be visiting there). Buddhist populations are the highest in East Asia.

Monks and Nuns ussully live in a monastery.
