| | Monk - definition of Monk in Encyclopedia |
 | | Eastern Orthodox Monks at prayer in their monastery church. | | | A monk who lives alone, away from society and sometimes also from all other monks, is called an Anchorite or Hesicaste (also called a hermit). | | | While there have been militant monastic orders at various points in history (Buddhist monks of the Shaolin temple are a well-known example and probably form the basis for this stereotype), these are the exception and not the norm. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Monk |
| | The word monk is not itself a term commonly used in the official language of the Church. | | | A monk may be conveniently defined as a member of a community of men, leading a more or less contemplative life apart from the world, under the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, according to a rule characteristic of the particular order to which he belongs. | | | In any case the fact remains that the word monachus in the fourth century was freely used of those consecrated to God, whether they lived as hermits or in communities. |
