word novice in a Buddhist monastery


Recommended Posts

Hi!

What's the term for novices in a buddhist monastery? I'm looking for a term that could apply both to women and men.

Thanks,

Randall

I would use [POP=túdi]徒弟[/POP] - disciple, apprentice. Could well be a more accurate word though.

弟子,一般也称为门徒,或者学生。There are different names according to age and level of study though.
