In Buddhism, monks serve as spiritual practitioners dedicated to following the teachings of the Buddha, aiming to attain enlightenment and guide others on the path to liberation from suffering. They live a life of discipline, meditation, and community service, often taking vows of simplicity and celibacy. In Jainism, monks, or "sadhus," also pursue spiritual liberation through strict adherence to non-violence (ahimsa), truth, and ascetic practices, often renouncing worldly possessions and comforts to achieve a higher state of consciousness. Both traditions emphasize the role of monks in preserving and transmitting their respective teachings and practices.
