clergy[change source]
For simplicity, can one explain the difference between clergy and Monk? The word Clergy is already rarely used here and this is making things little uneasy.-BRP ever 06:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Different groups use different titles, but most the most frequent type of Buddhist clergy is a Buddhist monk, and some (such a Lamas) are also monks, but I suspect some Buddhist clergy are not monks. Ole Nydahl, for example seems to be worth of being considered clergy since he is the founder and leader of "Diamond Way Buddhism".
- Buddhist clergy is meant to be a broader term. Tahc (talk) 03:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
