monks don't but i don't know about nuns That answer is wrong to a degree. Monks as well as sisters, are allowed to see their families. God wouldn't ask us to shun our families. Certain vows that monks take will limit their time with their families.
Basically the same as they are today, monks and nuns are people who have dedicated their lives to praising God, they are bound to the three vows of Conversatio Morum, obedience and stability - as most monks and nuns are in the Benedictine tradition. If they are not Benedictine, for instance, Augustinians, they take the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Their day is spent in choir singing the Office, and they usually have some work to support themselves.
Monks are male members of a religious community who typically live in a monastery, while nuns are female members who live in a convent. Monks often focus on contemplation and prayer, while nuns may have a broader range of activities including teaching, caring for the sick, and social work. Both monks and nuns take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
Benedictine monks and nuns (which includes Cistericians and Trappiests) take vows of stability, conversion of manners, and obedience, most other religious make vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.

Monks and nuns, although they have given their lives to God under solemn vows, and considered "religious" nevertheless are not clergy, they fall under laity. So if you are considering a pyramid of the clergy, they are not even on it.
There were four for monks and nuns: the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, plus the vow of stability (meaning a commitment to remain within their monastic community for the remainder of their lives).Friars took only three vows (poverty, chastity and obedience).

Both Monks and Nuns take vows of celebacy.. Japan decreed in 1872 that all Buddhist monks in Japan should be free to "eat meat, take wives and shave their heads" as they chose.. (FROM WIKI ANSWERS -BY VICHEKALAY)
No. Buddhists can be either Monks/Nuns or Lay people; just like in Roman Catholicism. Monks & Nuns take vows of poverty and chastity and dedicate their lives to attaining enlightenment. Lay people, like myself, work, get married, have children while also practicing Buddhism trying to also reach enlightenment.
There is no such ceremony for priests. Priests, as such, do not take "vows", they make a promise of obedience to their bishop at their ordination and the obligation to celibacy is imposed by Canon Law. The only ones who take vows, as such are solemnly professed religious, such as monks and nuns who make solemn vows of stability, converso morum, and obedience at their solemn profession. Friars, brothers, and sisters usually make perpetual promises or simple vows of poverty, chastity and obedience at their profession.
