A monk is a man who has withdrawn from the world for religious reasons, especially as a member of an order of cenobites living according to a particular rule and under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Link
I do not have a favourite monk, infact I don't think I know any monk and I guess it's because there are not many monk around the axis I am located. The term is mostly associated with certain places and in certain countries.
But the concept of a monk is interesting, for someone to separate him or herself from the activities of the world. They stay mainly in isolation to keep themselves from the world, that's the idea.
