|letterofmotivation=I have wasted first 28 years of my life chasing happiness, love and trying to figure it all out. I failed but 25 years ago I found dharma and a qualified teacher. I am not better than any other applicant on your list. I just never gave up and kept studying dharma and practicing. Finding dharma was the best thing that ever happened to me but a true blessings came in a form of my greatest teachers, Ven. Tenga Rinpoche and Ven. Wangchen Rinpoche, true Bodhisattvas walking on this Earth. In 2022 I left my previous life, marriage, house and career and moved to Ser Cho Ling, a beautiful retreat center in central California to start a new chapter of my life. I dedicated myself to service and practice. I serve my teacher, sangha and practice and study every day. I don't have any source of income at this time.
Wangchen Rinpoche recommended that I will enter into a three year retreat under his guidance. I am finally ready to do that. I am mature enough to be aware of the commitment I take and what it means. I believe that the guidance of my teacher with my dedication, diligence and genuine daily practice of bodhicitta will bring positive results. Most of all, I dedicate all of these positive results for the benefit of all mother sentient beings. I can not do this without financial support and therefore, I kindly ask you to consider my humble request. May all beings benefit.
