|introbuddhism=I started studying Mahayana Buddhism in 2014 with an instructor from Lama Padma Samten's sangha in Brazil. It was an informal study group (Grupo de Estudos Budistas Bodhisattva) focused on the 4 Noble Truths, 12 links of dependent origination, mind training, 4 Immeasurable Qualities and 6 Paramitas. By then I hadn't taken refuge yet. In 2019, I started studying Buddhism in a more traditional set and with a clear lineage with Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and his instructors from Siddhartha's Intent. | |introbuddhism=I started studying Mahayana Buddhism in 2014 with an instructor from Lama Padma Samten's sangha in Brazil.
