[quote=Anonymous]One difference is that, at least for some Buddhist traditions, you aren't required to be a monk your whole life. People will become monks for a short period of time to learn about meditation and Buddhism, but then it's expected they'll go back to their regular lives, where they can live like everyone else. It's important to point out, though, that while sex is considered a monastic transgression in most Buddhist traditions, there are strains of Tibetan Buddhism that use sexual yoga to actually help people get closer to enlightenment. I guess my point is that it's more complicated than in Catholicism. [/quote]
