|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. | |||
I do not claim to know everything about the Dharma, but I have learned that receiving can also be a form of giving when guided by right view, and bodhicitta. This is the essence of my aspiration to undertake this three-year retreat. My practice has shown me that nothing in my life will be as beneficial—for myself or others—as understanding my own mind. No amount of wealth, fame, or family achievements could generate the karma needed to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. I understand this on a deeply personal level. | |||
In this lifetime, I have lived many roles: recording artist, life coach, and business owner. If these experiences yielded anything of value, it was leading me to my Guru and authentic Buddha Dharma. Now, I have the opportunity to do something truly meaningful with my life. I feel that failing to seize this chance would be the greatest mistake I could make—and I have already made plenty of those. | |||
When I met Rinpoche, I vowed that if my thirst for enlightenment remained as strong as it was after my first 25 Nyungne retreat, I would dedicate my life to practice after two years. Fortunately, I trusted this intuition rather than rushing in foolishly. After two years, I closed my business and moved to Ser Cho Ling. This significant step was only the beginning. Within a year, I traveled with Wangchen Rinpoche to India to take my Novice Monk vows under H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche. Through these experiences, an unshakable conviction has grown within me, despite the modest sacrifices I have made. It is this same intuition that now guides me to undertake the three-year retreat—a ripening I could not stop even if I wished to. | |||
It’s my sincere wish that you will consider this information when making your decision to accept my application for 3-Year Retreat. Nothing else in this world matters to me as much as fulfilling my Guru’s vision for me and completing my 3-year retreat. | |||
With Warmest Wishes, | |||
