The monks had two tasks. One of them was spreading the word of Christian faith, and the next was being holy to oneself as well as God.
The two primary tasks of Buddhist monks are (1) to learn Buddhist scriptures which is called Pariyatti and (2) to meditate to become enlightened which is called Paripatti. To make it brief, learning and meditation are the routine life of Buddhist monks.
Monks in the tower of a monastery often engaged in various activities such as prayer, meditation, and study. The tower served as a place for solitude, allowing monks to focus on their spiritual practices and reflection. Additionally, it might have been used for administrative tasks or as a lookout point for the monastery's surroundings. The tower symbolized both a physical and spiritual elevation, emphasizing the monks' commitment to their faith.
Lay brothers were typically responsible for manual labor and tasks such as cooking and cleaning, while choir monks focused on prayer and singing in the church choir. Lay brothers often had less education and were not ordained as priests, unlike choir monks who had received religious training and could perform sacraments.
The collective noun for monks is an abomination of monks (from the older 'an abominable sight of monks').
