Buddhist Disciples

 

































There are two kinds of Buddhist disciples or followers.First there are monks and nuns who renounce the world to follow Buddhas teachings.Then there are lay-followers, who practice Buddhism at home.Monks and nuns are people who cut off all worldly ties and leave their homes and families to live austere, secluded lives in a monastery.  They devote their lives to the study and practice of Buddhism.Lay-followers are people who vow to take refuge in the Triple Jewel and observe the precepts taught by Buddha.Monks, nuns and lay-follows all have the duty of spreading the teachings of Buddhism to others.
