A feminine monk is a woman who has taken vows and lives a monastic lifestyle within a religious community. In Buddhism, a feminine monk is often referred to as a "bhikkhuni" or "nun." In Christianity, a feminine monk may be known as a "sister" in the Roman Catholic tradition or a "nun" in the Orthodox tradition. Feminine monks typically follow a disciplined life of prayer, meditation, and service to others within the guidelines of their specific religious order.
