+This amount will cover my living expenses from June 2025 untill the beginning of the retreat in September 2026.
+At the present moment, I am not formally employed, as I am fully dedicating my time to completing the Ngöndro, studying the Tibetan language, and supporting Dharma activities. However, I expect to take at least 6.000USD from these savings to pay the retreat costs.
+I will write to some Dharma friends whom I believe will be happy to sponsor my retreat or support me in some way, and I will also do fundraising to cover the remaining amount if necessary as well.
+|letterofmotivation=To the Tsadra Foundation,
+I am writing you to express my sincere aspiration to join the traditional Three-Year Retreat at Karme Ling which was established by the late Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche under the request of 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, where my Lama, Lama Karma Tartchin has done his Three-Year Retreat, and to kindly request financial support from Tsadra Foundation to help make this aspiration possible.
+I first found meaning in the Dharma when I was about 13 years old and was lucky enough to meet Lama Karma Tartchin personally. During that time of deep questioning and sadness I was struggling to understand the inequality of life, why some work so hard and suffer while others, like me at the time, live comfortably without much effort. Lama Tartchin said me, “Instead of being upset about that, why don’t you do something truly meaningful with your life to help others?”. That one sentence opened my heart and a deep connection and trust in Lama Tartchin arose as well as some interest in the Buddha Dharma. Now I’m 27 years old, and it’s been over a decade since I took refuge with Lama Karma Tartchin. Since then, I’ve done my best to help his Dharma Center (Karme Thegsum Tcholing), study and practice the Buddha Dharma. I have helped for many years as a cook during the retreats, maintainer of the retreat place, manager in the Dharma Center, performing as Chopon for the Pujas, as well as joined many group retreats and have done a few solitary retreats as well, as mentioned in the application. All of this has been part of my sincere commitment to integrate my life in the Dharma.
+At this point in my life, I truly feel that entering the Three-Year Retreat is the most meaningful thing I can do. I know it will benefit me, both in the short and long term, and will also benefit my family, friends and even people and sentient beings that I don’t know. Besides that, I also hope that when I conclude the retreat, I’ll have gained a good and strong Dharma practice and knowledge so I will be able to contribute to the establishment of the Karma Kagyu Lineage through supporting Lama Tartchin’s activities in Brazil, directly to Portuguese speakers. In addition, I genuinely aspire to deepen my practice in the Three Years Retreat also because I know in my heart that it would make my precious Lama Tartchin pleased. As for the past 20 years he has worked lonely and tirelessly as the only Brazilian Karma Kagyu Lama to sustain Karmapa’s activities in Brazil, I am certain that seeing his efforts flourish in the form of students who practice the Dharma diligently, gain genuine wisdom, and become able to carry on his work and effort is a true source of joy for him
-I first found meaning in the Dharma when I was about 13 years old and was lucky enough to meet Lama Karma Tartchin personally.  At the time, I was feeling deeply sad and questioning why people who worked so hard often struggled so much, while I—someone who had never done much beyond going to school and hanging out with friends—had so many things and lived a good life. Lama Tartchin said to me, “Instead of being upset about that, why don’t you do something truly meaningful with your life to help others?” That one sentence opened my heart and a deep connection and trust in Lama Tartchin arose. Now I’m 27 years old, and it’s been over a decade since I took refuge with Lama Karma Tartchin. Since then, I’ve done my best to help his Dharma Center, study and practice the Buddha Dharma. I have helped for many years as a cook, maintainer, transcriber, manager in the Dharma Center, as well as joined many group retreats and also have done a few solitary retreats, as mentioned in the application.
-At this point in my life, I truly feel that entering the Three-Year Retreat is the most meaningful thing I can do. I know it will benefit me—both in the short and long term—and will also benefit my family, friends and even people and sentient beings that I don’t know. In that way I genuinely aspire to deepen my practice in the Three Years Retreat and beenfit beings as much as I can, as Lama Tartchin and Lama Lodro will tell me afterwards. I also know in my heart that this decision would make my precious Lama Tartchin very happy as for the past 20 years, he has worked tirelessly to sustain Karmapa’s activities in Brazil and to have students who genuinely wish to deepen their Dharma study and practice is something I believe would truly bring him joy.
+It feels important to share that I’ve already quit my job and from October 2024 to June 2025 I led two Buddhist Pilgrimages to India and Nepal with Lama Tartchin and stayed in both countries to receive teachings and do retreats in sacred places. So, at the moment I don’t have any major obligations with work or family.
