Best Answer

No. Men who dedicate their lives to a Buddhist monastic way of life are Monks and women are Nuns. Any person with sufficient knowledge can lead a Buddhist ritual.

Monks or Nuns who have received and understood the Buddha's teachings sufficiently (called being given transmission) are allowed to teach others. These persons typically are then given honorific titles such as Lama (equivalent to Sanskrit term Guru), Geshe (virtuous friend), Bhante (venerable sir), and venerable, etc.

Why did Buddhism not remain in India?

Buddhists never left India. At one point Buddhists were one of the majority religions in India; but Hindu priests became entrenched in India's politics and used their position to reinforce Hinduism. Between that and Buddhism's belief in no gods, lead to a decline in popularity there. In Modern times Buddhism is flourishing again. Many of the dailits (outcast caste) are becoming Buddhists.
