Sunim

Sunim

Sunim 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 sunim", and this polite way of expressing the title can also denote some sort of realization on the part of the individual being addressed. In most Korean temples, a middle-aged monk assumes the role of a "juji sunim", who serves administrative functions. The eldest sunim is is typically seen as a symbolic leader of the younger sunims. [Daehang Sunim, 96-97] [Kwan, 125]
