Monk

A monk is a member of a religious order. Traditionally, this term is applied to a person who lives in a monastery.

Monks were known in such races as Vulcans, Bajorans, and Humans (during their past history, and imitated by Q during an appearance to the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)). 

On Earth, Tibetan Buddhist teaching monks were known as lamas. Doctor Phlox spent two weeks in the mid-22nd century with the high lamas studying Buddhism and learning to sing chords. 

In the Bajoran religion, Vedeks, Prylars and Ranjens are also called monks. 

In late 2369, Vedek Bareil Antos told Commander Benjamin Sisko that he knew a monk when he was five years old who could "squeeze the pagh right out of your ear with his thumb and forefinger". 

In a holoprogram set in 16th century Florence, Leonardo da Vinci had to deliver a bronzetto to the monks at Santa Croce and asked Catarina to accompany him and pray there.
