|ngondronotes=I completed my first Ngöndro as part of the program in my first traditional retreat, where we dedicated one year to its practice. During the same retreat, in my free time, I also finished a Ngöndro that I had started earlier. | |||
Between my two retreats, I completed a Ngöndro in the Dudjom Rinpoche tradition. Then, as part of the program in my second retreat, we practiced the Ngöndro from Kangyur Rinpoche’s tradition. After that, in my free time, I completed another Ngöndro from a cycle of yidam practice. | |||

My main responsibilities included designing and managing the center's website, creating its visual identity, producing all printed informational materials, and assisting in organizing events such as conferences. | |||
From 2014 to 2015, I contributed to the construction of the stupas and temple in La Péchardie, Dordogne. My primary role involved painting statues and tsatsas. | |||
|letterofmotivation=At the age of 28, I began my first traditional Buddhist retreat at a Kagyu lineage center in France, fulfilling my deep aspiration to dedicate myself fully to spiritual practice.
