|introbuddhism=I've first started to study buddhism by myself through books and internet articles at around 12 years old, soon after when I was 13 I started to do regular Zazen practices at a Sōtō Zen-shu center near my house in Porto Alegre, Brasil, called 'Via Zen' under the guidence of resident Nun Shoden. Soon after that I attended short retreats at the center's rural location, 'Vila Zen' one under the guidance of Coen Roshi, the national supervisor of this specific tradition when I was 14 and later another retreat with 'Via Zen' main teacher, Monk Dengaku at 18 years old. It was only when arriving at Kathmandu though at 19 years old that I took formal refuge and started to devote myself basically full time to pratice and study, starting this process under Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's guidance. | |||
|refugehistory=I first took refuge with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche in November 2016 when I was 19 years old. | |||
|formalvows=Yes | |||
|formalvowsdetails=I've taken the lay precepts from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche in 2016, and took Bodhisatva and tantric vows during Chokling Rinpoche's Tukdrub Barchel kunsel 10 days empowerments in 2016 as well, a few months later during the Kalachakra empowerment in Bodhgaya in January H.H the Dalai Lama also gave a formal ceremony where I took both Bodhisattva and tantric vows again. I've renewed these vows on many occasions throughout the years living in Nepal. | |||

|ngondroPartialDetails=I've started the Tukdrub Barchel Kunsel Ngondro in 2018 after having the wish to do so for over an year and having some indications that the moment for starting the process was ripe, I then consulted with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche about it who blessed me and said it would be good to do so. I then started to practice the long version accumulating prostrations daily, a practice I kept without missing a single day until the beginning of 2021 - In 2018 I did short retreats whenever I had time from my studies and learned more about the practice attending a few sessions of the month long Ngondro retreat at Ka-Nying shedrub ling in December and January 2018-2019 - In the summer of 2019 I did a one month long solitary retreat at Asura Cave practice center from the Shedrub Mandala accumulating prostrations and attended the one month Ngondro retreat in almost its entirity in December 2019-2020, having to miss a few sessions when Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche gave a Powa retreat at the same time (during this retreat we practice in Ka-Nying lha kang guided by Lama Opak and the monastic community with hundreds of attendents from the local Nepali Sangha, there we receive teachings on each Ngondro part and practice them together for a few days) - I finished the accumulation for the prostrations in 2020 during the pandemic in Brazil, but I then during this time while keeping my studies online, also having work commitments, and living together with my family, I ended up leaving the my daily commitment to the ngondro practice aside, stopping the accumulations as well. I never stopped my daily samaya commitments of practicing the Kuungy Koljang, The concice daily practice of the Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel keeping a daily morning meditation session, which I sometimes also embrace with the long version of the ngondro practice withnout counting accumulations. In 2023 I tried to start accumulating the 100.000 Boddhicita but soon left it aside for the M.A commitments were simply too demanding for me to keep both. I decided to focus on the studies while keeping certain practices (I detail my other practices such as the Triple Tara Excellence and the Bodhi training in my dharma resume.) As I'm about to finish the M.A thesis in August and joining right after teachings and a retreat in the 3 years retreat site at gomde perynee with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and the retreat master Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo, to which I received a scholarship to participate in, I plan to resume the ngondro accumulation at the end of this retreat from the End of September onwards. I now plan to practice under a proposed model of one my teachers, Erik Pema Kunsang, who suggests doing 10.000 accumulations of each practice cycle and repeating the process until the accumulation of 5x 100.000 is completed. I will start with 10.000 prostrations and after the first 5x 10.000 cycle is completed I plan to then start from the bodhichita as I've already completed the prostrations before. I plan to do as many cycles as possible before the start of the 3 years retreat, with commited daily practice sessions and doing short retreats during 2025 and longer retreats in 2026. | |||
