Sunim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seunim is the Korean title for a Buddhist monk or Buddhist nun. It is considered respectful to refer to senior monks or nuns in Korea as Kun seunim. In most Korean temples, a middle-aged monk assumes the role of a juji seunim, who serves administrative functions. The eldest seunim is typically seen as a symbolic leader of the younger seunims.[1][2]
