A few years later (2022) I met Wangchen Rinpoche & Kalu Rinpoche and there was an instant Karmic connection. Since then I made the aspiration to move to Ser Cho Ling and take my Monk vows and in 2 years time, this opportunity came to fruition. I now reside at Ser Cho Ling as a Novice Monk and administrator for the center.

|ngondronotes=The application would not let me submit without saying I have finished my Ngondro. This isn't required by Wangchen Rinpoche to enter 3-Year Retreat. Instead he requires us to do at least 25-Nyungne, and encourages us to do short retreats of Ngondro before our retreat.

|previousretreatscomplete=Yes
|previousretreatsdetails=Yes, I have completed three 25-Nyungne (50 Days each) and several 8-Nyungne (16 days each). 25-Nyungne is actually Wangchen Rinpoche's requirement for anyone who wants to do 3-year retreat in the Golden Teaching (Shangpa Kagyu) Lineage.

|letterofmotivation=As a sincere Buddhist practitioner, it feels counterintuitive to write about myself to secure funding for my retreat. However, guided by my Guru, Wangchen Rinpoche, I recognize that seeking this scholarship is a skillful means that could benefit all sentient beings if my retreat is successful. This understanding alone motivates me to apply.
