Description
A bhikkhu (Pali: भिक्खु, Sanskrit: भिक्षु, bhikṣu ) is an ordained male in Buddhist monasticism. Male and female monastics ("nun", bhikkhunī , Sanskrit bhikṣuṇī ) are members of the Sangha (Buddhist community).
The lives of all Buddhist monastics are governed by a set of rules called the prātimokṣa or pātimokkha. Their lifestyles are shaped to support their spiritual practice: to live a simple and meditative life and attain nirvana.
A person under the age of 20 cannot be ordained as a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni but can be ordained as a śrāmaṇera or śrāmaṇērī.
