Do monks and nuns live longer than other people?

Possibly. In the Dark Ages, being a monk or nun substantially increased one's lifespan because they had access to more food and a generally easier lifestyle (depending on the monastery). Also, nuns wouldn't die in childbirth, as they weren't married, and therefore they had more chance of living longer than their married counterparts. As for modern-day monks and nuns, their peaceful and contemplative lifestyles could likely increase their lifespan, due to the relative lack of stress when compared to most modern lifestyles.


Do those who are not monks have any role in Buddhism?

Yes, those who are not ordained monks or nuns have always had an important role in the community of Buddhists. As Buddhism spread from what is today India to other eastern countries and, in the 20th century, to the west, it adapted itself to different cultures. Today in the west, most Buddhists are not celibate monks or nuns. Communities of monks and nuns are usually supported by many practitioners outside those communities. Most people today who engage in Buddhist practices designed to minimize suffering are neither monks nor nuns. .

All nuns started out as cloistered, that is the very definition of a nun, as opposed to a Sister. A Sister works out in the world, classically, teaching, nursing, etc. Nuns, such as Benedictines, Cistercians, Carthusians, were all cloistered, although many, not all, modern Benedictine nuns work out in the world like Sisters. (Cloistered is the term for an "enclosed Order". Classically, Carmelites, Visitation Sisters, Franciscans, Dominicans, and many others were cloistered as well, but they are not nuns.
