Online buddhist monks

[GarcherLancelot]

Are there any?I could use some counselling from them(there is a reason ,I choose them over the likes of psychologists in this matter),I don;t really care which "yana" are they from but preferably they know some New Age stuffs. ..

Tsem Rinpoche is as online as it gets, he sometimes gets on the chat too here http://blog.tsemtulku.com/chat

Our own Khedrup is a monk. There are many monks on-line.

On a separate topic: Any of us could take robes tomorrow, and that would be very meritorious, but that would not necessarily make us a good counselor. Investigate the reputation.

Lots of monks (and nuns) online.
But, a monk (or nun) online does not a counselor make.

Neither does it preclude being a counselor. In my experience you're pretty good at it yourself. Remember when I wandered into E-Sangha, completely lost and overwhelmed by it all?

[Nighthawk]

I remember Ven. Huifeng and a Tibetan buddhist moderator from Chicago (forgot her name) on e-sangha helping me out when I was a noob. Their knowledge and compassion for teaching is priceless.

Why do they have to know new age stuff...

[muni]

Spread the meaning of the Buddha to help from the honest heart on internet and everywhere.

NOTHING MORE.

Does Ven.Heng Sure mind if I just casually chat with him via facebook?.. .

[JKhedrup]

I'm sure you can try. Ven. Heng Sure is pretty active, his time might be limited. But it never hurts to try, and could bring great benefit.
