'''Upāsaka''' (masculine) (fem. ''upāsikā'') are from the [[Sanskrit]] and Pāli words for "attendant" or "he who serves" and the word is best understood as "lay auxiliary" of a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] monastic community who are not monks, nuns, or novice monastics, and who undertake certain vows.<ref>Jan Nattier, ''A Few Good Men: The Bodhisattva Path according to The Inquiry of Ugra (Ugraparpṛcchā)'' (Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 2003), 25</ref>
