Who monks follow depends on what faith the group practices. For example, most monks are Christians and follow Jesus Christ under the leadership of the current Pope. But there are Buddhist monks who follow Buddha's teachings.
Monks typically met in monasteries, which served as their communal living spaces dedicated to religious life, prayer, and study. Within these monasteries, they often gathered in specific areas such as chapels for worship, cloisters for meditation, or refectories for communal meals. Additionally, some monks would meet in remote locations for solitude and contemplation, such as hermitages or caves. These gatherings were essential for fostering a sense of community and shared spiritual practice.
The collective noun for monks is an abomination of monks (from the older 'an abominable sight of monks').
Some types of monks include Benedictine monks, Franciscan monks, and Trappist monks. Each type of monk belongs to a different religious order with its own set of customs, practices, and rules.

In that the CHristian religion is only 2000 years old and many religions are much older there are many others that have monks. The term monks is pretty much undefined. If you take it that monks are a group of men living in a religious community under promises to meet several criteria (e.g. chastity, poverty, obedience) then you probably identify Hindu and Buddhists who met these criteria.
Not necessarily. Many religions have monks. Monks are people who withdraw from ordinary life to pursue their religious beliefs on a daily basis. So you can have Christian monks, Buddhist monks, Hindu monks, etc. Islam does not have a similar tradition though.
Monks and nuns do the monks' and nuns' jobs now.
