Anagarika

An anagarika is someone who is not a monk or nun, but still follows a disciplined life just like them. They wear simple clothes like a plain white robe and take care of themselves by doing things like cleaning, gardening, or cooking. They also spend a lot of time learning about Buddhism, which is a way of living that teaches people how to be kind and compassionate to others. Anagarikas might choose this way of life because they want to focus on being mindful and helpful to others, and they believe that simplicity and mindfulness are important values to live by.
