What do christian monks and what do Buddhist monks do in there everyday life?

For Christian monks, it depends on the monastic order they've joined. All orders emphasize regular prayer and introspection. Beyond that, some orders are founded to do missionary work, some focus on agriculture, teaching, or other service, some are contemplative orders; that is, they withdraw from the society around them to study and pray. It is my understanding that Buddhist monasteries can be much more flexible in what their members do. All monks must study the dhamma lessons and learn to meditate. This is necessarily a very brief, simplistic answer.
