I consulted with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, who blessed me and confirmed it would be good to proceed. I then started practicing the long version, accumulating prostrations daily without missing a single day until early 2021.

I consulted with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, who blessed me and confirmed it would be good to proceed. I then started practicing the long version, accumulating prostrations daily without missing a single day until early 2021.
 Retreats and Intensive Practice (2018-2020): In 2018, I did short retreats whenever possible during my studies and learned more about the practice by attending sessions of the month-long Ngöndro retreat at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling in December 2018-January 2019. In summer 2019, I completed a one-month solitary retreat at Asura Cave Practice Center accumulating prostrations. I attended almost the entire one-month Ngöndro retreat in December 2019-January 2020, missing only a few sessions when Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche gave a Phowa retreat simultaneously. During these retreats, we practiced in Ka-Nying Lhakhang guided by Lama Öpak and the monastic community with hundreds of attendees from the local Nepali Sangha, receiving teachings on each Ngöndro part and practicing them together.
 Completion and Pause: I finished the prostration accumulations in 2021 during the pandemic in Brazil. However, due to online studies, work commitments, and living with family, I stopped my daily Ngöndro commitment and accumulations. I never stopped my daily samaya commitments of practicing the Concise daily practice of the Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel (Gyunkyi Koljang), maintaining daily morning meditation sessions, sometimes embracing the long Ngöndro version without counting accumulations.

-I have primarily served through interpretation and translation work on a voluntary basis. I began interpreting for Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's Annual Fall Seminars into Portuguese in 2018, starting with Drubpön Lama Tenzin Sangpo and Tomas Doctor. From 2019 onwards, I have interpreted for Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche during all fall seminars (except 2022 when I was in Brazil interpreting for Khamtak Rinpoche) and other teachings including summer seminars in Europe online. In recent years, interpreters have begun receiving donations from Shedrub Mandala.

-Brazilian Sangha Organization (2019-present):
+Brazilian Sangha Organization (2019-present): I created and manage a WhatsApp group for Brazilian practitioners connected with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche (March 2019). There I started hosting monthly online group practice sessions of the Buddha Shakyamuni Sadhana of Mipham Rinpoche on the first Sunday of each month. After a break from 2022-2024, I received Rinpoche's full support and blessings to restart these practices. We also use the group to share information about teaching events within the tradition.

+Tara Triple Excellence Support (ongoing): I have unofficially supported Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's online meditation program through interpretation of live Q&A sessions into Portuguese, communication and marketing assistance. In 2018, I printed hundreds of program flyers at my own expense for distribution in Brazil. In 2024, I bought and brought products from Nepal to sell in Brazil for fundraising, which were handled by Paula Rozin (Portuguese program leader). These funds will be destined for marketing campaigns of TTE in Portuguese and a possible 2026 visit by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche to Brazil.
