Hello Ren-san.
So let's be friends (laughs).
There are a few people I have become friends with because of my relationship with Hasunoha. It can be a friend, a believer, and I don't mind either. Please feel free to email me.
There is also the internet now, and if you want to create opportunities to have relationships with monks through various things, I think you can make a lot of things. Find a site where you can interact with various monks yourself, and try getting in touch with the monk that suits you. Of course, before they become friends, they may be counselors or believers. If we go deeper from that relationship, I think we can build relationships that are more than believers. It's just like making regular friends.
Good luck! Gassho
