Yes, of course. Okay, let's try once again: what is Nirvana? It's a pleasure. Does it differs from some desires (please notice that Buddha's key teaching was about freeding from desire, but you need a desire to freed from desire) like alcohol, cigarettes or sex for people who have had desires. Not really, moreover Buddhist Monks won't have childs cause the sex is desire, but does the conception of Niravana really differs? No, and most of Buddhism true knowledge came from Sanscreet, how many people talk Sanscreet nowadays? Not many. Buddhism doesn't have holy Monks or the residence similar to Vatican, so there is no adavantage of Buddhist Monks over Lay Buddhists.
P.S. Holy "@iain" and "@ChrisW" told me that there is an advantage of Buddhist Monks like "posting ironic high quality comments" or "deleting good answers", but no religion asks to downvote answers anywhere, not Buddhism, not Christianity (J.Christ told about love to others), so if downvoting of answers means Buddhism then it's sad. And it seems like Lay Buddhism advantage.
