InBuddhism, ananagārika (Pali, 'homeless one',[əˈnəɡɑːrɪkə]; f.anagārikā[əˈnəɡɑːrɪkɑː]) is a person who has given up most or all of their worldly possessions and responsibilities to commit full-time to Buddhist practice. It is a midway status between abhikkhu orbhikkhuni (fully ordained monastics) andlaypersons. An anagārika takes theEight Precepts, and might remain in this state for life.
