 I make the aspiration to at least finish the 110,000 Vajrasattva accumulation before starting the 3 year retreat at Gomde Pyranees next June.
 Prior to starting Ngondro, I practiced the Buddha Shakyamuni Sadhana "Treasury of Blessings" and accumulated 500,000 recitations of that mantra.

The programs usually concluded with short capstone practice retreats of 4-9 days and week-long seminars with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche. In the fall of 2023 I studied for one semester at Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Kathmandu Nepal where I learned Mahayana practice and philosophy as well as Tibetan Language.
+|ynofferedservices=Yes
+|offeredservicesdetails=This summer I served as the teaching assistant for the Buddhist Studies Summer Program at Gomde California, offering emotional and logistical support to students. In 2023 I organized a group of college students to attend Phakchok Rinpoche's teaching at Harvard University, and organized a talk at my University by one of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's close western students. Since spring of 2024 I have attended meetings for Dharma Gyan International Youth Association, and helped to brainstorm with other members of the organization about how to develop the group in accordance with Rinpoche's aspirations. I am currently working with another member of the group to build a website for Dharma Gyan Youth. During Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's summer seminars at Gomde California the last three years I staffed their shop selling ritual items to Sangha members on behalf of the center. I have also helped Gomde set up and take down their large number of furnished canvas tent-cabins before and after their annual Summer program. During summer programs, I have helped with washing dishes and cleaning the back-kitchen on a daily basis.
