Ordained Buddhists are commonly referred to as "monks" or "nuns," depending on their gender. In many traditions, male monks are called "bhikkhus," while female monks are called "bhikkhunis." They have taken vows to follow the monastic code and dedicate their lives to practicing and teaching the Buddha's teachings.

What components are needed in a Buddhist religion?

The most essential commonality to all mainline Buddhist traditions is the principle of taking refuge in the Three Jewels: Buddha (both the historical Buddha Shakyamuni and the potential of all beings to attain Buddhahood), Dharma (both the particular teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni and the idea that one can traverse a path to Enlightenment), and Sangha (both ordained Buddhist monks and nuns and spiritual friends in general). The three essential components of mainline Buddhist practice are the study of the Sutras (the sermons of Buddha Shakyamuni), the practice of meditation, and the adherence to either lay (Upasaka) or ordained (Vinaya) vows and precepts.
