It's really a real story?

My friend is a Buddhism and we have talking about his religion, AFAIK monk doesn't have access about money, good cellphone etc but their live are based on people who want to donate food, medicine and cloak. They're no longer think about his family, his friends, or his appearance, what they do is only focus about their rules to achieve more higher rank. I don't believe about your story since my friend isn't lying, I hope someone who also a Buddhism could confirm this.

Interesting. This could be true as monks usually focus on solitude and prayer. However, I read about monks and nuns using the latest technology and social media platform. I've read that every monastery has different set of rules, some were allowed to use the internet to communicate with the world but of course it comes with a limit.
Therefore, we should at least consider more of his story. Because I have also thought, is there really a digital monk? Because latest technology might ruin the balance of the monk's way of living.

as you said, there must be a limit to that, and a monk entering the digital world is a must in my personal opinion ... because of course they must also advance in all aspects in order to meet the needs of society in the future because of the challenges of religious leaders in the future different from the old one, so it's not just sitting and praying, for the sake of spreading a virtue and goodness

This turns out to be very curious, I hardly know the Buddhist religion, but I really like its legacies, besides the concentration exercises they take are excellent, I like everything they can achieve, however detach from everything and just keep in mind The search for other things counts, without there being something corresponding material, that is something that I no longer share, and it is not that I am materialistic, but we must accept that the world changes, that we must join in the good changesb and one of those is having things, having technology and that doesn't mean it's bad, so many things are difficult for me while practicing as a Buddhist.
