The 82-year-old Buddhist monk announced the new app, which will allow users to watch live video of his teachings, to his 16.6 million Twitter followers on Thursday.

"Without technology, humanity has no future, but we have to be careful that we don't become so mechanised that we lose our human feelings," he said.
