Monks
Various names were given to the places where monks lived. Among Christian monks, most lived in a monastery or Abbey. They lived together under the supervision of an Abbot. A single monk lived in a hermitage. In the Eastern Orthodox area, a group of monks could live together in a group under a group under the Rule of Anthony. Such a group was called a laura. Female monks lived in a convent.Other religions also had monks.
Monks - monastery. Nuns - convent.
Who monks follow depends on what faith the group practices. For example, most monks are Christians and follow Jesus Christ under the leadership of the current Pope. But there are Buddhist monks who follow Buddha's teachings.
In English we would call them Tibetan monks. In Tibet they are called chodak or or choden.
