I personally have no actual experience with Tibetan Monks, but I have heard stories from those who have actually witnessed and lived with them. Its extraordinary once you get used to it I've heard. It takes a lot of self discipline and a lot of will power. At first, it's difficult, but it's worth it. I was told you become enlightened. I was also told by one that you have to fast sometimes. Basically, its hard at first and will test your dedication, self discipline, and edurance. If you can master these, you become enlightened and come out a better person. This is a basic answer. You may get more detailed ones later on from those who have done it.

Can monks live a modern life?

.Catholic AnswerIn the twenty-first century, there are all kinds of monks. Most Benedictine monks live a thoroughly modern life. They still wear a habit, basically unchanged for centuries, although lighter and more simple than earlier habits. Their diet is little different than anybody else, they teach school, work in parishes, etc. Carthusians, who are more hermits than monks, live a very austere life, not so modern. But both of them are Catholics, not Amish, so they use electricity, etc. The only thing that is not "modern" about any of the religious orders, is that they are genuinely trying to lead a religious life based on the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. These three vows are about as far away as you can get from "modern" values as can be imagined. In that way, no they cannot live a modern life without ceasing to be monks.
