Buddhist monks practices are a way of showing devotion to the Buddha through ceremonies, festivals, different types of meditation and retreats. Buddhist practices include rituals - a visual way for Buddhists to demonstrate their beliefs.
Meditation is essential in Buddhism. Therefore, in order to achieve enlightenment, Buddhists must know how to meditate properly.
There are two main kinds of meditation:
Samatha meditation - This is known as calming meditation and Buddhists believe that it leads to deeper concentration. It is important as it allows Buddhists to let go of cravings and therefore achieve nibbana. It focuses on mindfulness of breathing.
Vipassana meditation - This is known as insight meditation. When a Buddhist meditates, they believe that they can see things as they really are. This allows them to gain realisation and understand the impermanence of things and the nature of reality. It is not just about focusing on breathing - it is also about focusing on exploration. It can even be done when walking.

Why do monks Meditate?
I suspect that nuns meditate for the same reason others do. Meditation helps strengthen awareness. Meditation helps us to see that we are not the mind, not the emotions, not the body. Meditation brings a sense of calm. Meditation helps us to see that fulfilling the desires of the mind will not bring a lasting sense of contentment. And finally, meditation brings one closer to a sense of godliness, of the divine.
