Question asked by Sirio
Dear Pastors,
My name is Sirio, I'm 22yo, I’m from Argentina.
I practiced Buddhism for two years, but about six months ago, I stopped because I felt I wasn’t making progress and was struggling with my understanding of other religions. However, two days ago, I realized that leaving Buddhism was a mistake, and I want to return to my practice. At the same time, I feel ashamed for having left the Dharma.
I began my Buddhist journey thanks to Rinpoche, which I consider the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m incredibly grateful that I was able to watch Rinpoche’s videos—they changed my life forever. Now, I feel ashamed that I may have disappointed him.
Before I stopped practicing, I was making daily offerings, practicing Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa as my main practice, confessing to the 35 Buddhas, and doing the Dorje Shugden free sadhana given by Rinpoche. I also love reading Dharma texts.
I’ve started chanting Migtsema again, and it brings me great peace. I truly want to return to my practice, but I’m unsure how to do so. Additionally, I feel lonely and lost, as there is no Buddhist community near me. Sometimes I consider to become a monk, but I do not know how to do that from the contry I am now.
I would deeply appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Best regards,
Sirio
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
