Monastisisme Buddhis
Monatisisme Buddhis adalah salah satu bentuk monastisisme terorganisasi yang paling awal yang masih bertahan dan merupakan salah satu institusi fundamental Buddhisme. Monks and nuns, called bhikkhu (Pali, Skt. bhikshu) and bhikkhuni (Skt. bhikshuni), are responsible for the preservation and dissemination of the Buddha's teaching and the guidance of Buddhist lay people. Three surviving traditions of monastic discipline (Vinaya), govern modern monastic life in different regional traditions: Theravada (Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia), Dharmaguptaka (East Asia), and Mulasarvastivada (Tibet and the Himalayan region).[1]
