|ngondroPartialDetails=I have completed the Refuge and Bodhicitta (100,000 prostrations), and I’m currently halfway through Vajrasattva. I have a few solitary retreats scheduled until the end of the year in order to complete the required Ngöndro accumulations. Therefore, I affirm that I’m doing my best and working diligently to complete the Ngöndro.
|ngondronotes=To try to bypass the site's bug, I filled out this item as if I had already completed the Ngöndro. However, as mentioned in all the other parts of the form, I have not completed it yet.
 
I haven’t completed the Ngöndro yet. I began the practice on January 1st, 2024, and at that time, I managed to keep practicing diligently while finishing my nursing degree, working, and organizing the pilgrimage I undertook with Lama Tartchin from October 2024 to June 2025.  
Since December 2025, I have been dedicating my time to completing the Ngöndro, as it was during this period, in a solitary retreat below the Asura Cave, that I felt fully motivated to do the 3-Year Retreat.

This amount will cover my living expenses from June 2025 until the beginning of the retreat in September 2026. At the moment, I am not formally employed, as I am fully dedicating my time to completing the Ngöndro, studying the Tibetan language, and supporting Dharma activities.

At the moment, I am not formally employed, as I am fully dedicating my time to completing the Ngöndro, studying the Tibetan language, and supporting Dharma activities.
However, I expect to take at least 6.000USD from these savings to pay the retreat costs.  


I will write to some Dharma friends whom I believe will be happy to sponsor my retreat or support me in some way, and I will also do fundraising to cover the remaining amount if necessary.
