I leftt my home country, Argentina, with the purpose of doing intensive training in some Buddhist monasteries. Buddhist practice has been in my life for some years now, but the time came when I felt the call of doing this in a traditional context, with a comunity and a teacher. After traveling I plan to return back to Argentina, probably in around 8 to 10 years, and be of service in my coumunity in any way its useful, and there are a lot I could think about. 

Currently healthy and young - Im 29 years old -  I feel like the most important thing I could do - for benefiting not only myself but every being that comes in my way - is to train my whole being to accomplish the Great Way in this very lifetime. Im in this exceptional condition of having a healthy body, and want to use it well, who knows when this comes into being again, if ever? 

So i drafted a plan, and Im moving earth and heaven to make it happen.
The main monastery in wich I wish to train is located in USA, wich imposes some obstacles related to visa. So my travel will probably include moving from one location to another, paying health insurances and visas, having to spend some time waiting in limit countries to go back in, and making some donations to the monastery. I have also checked for two others monasteries, one in Canada and other in Japan, wich offer an intensive training. Although Buddhism has expanded a lot, its not that usual to find a place that offers long periods of residential training in a traditional way, specially within Rinzai Zen Buddhism, and the cultural difference with Japan is really big, that is why I am aiming at north america, at the begining at least.
So, I will have my expenses. 
And as I said, Im moving earth and heaven, working hard trying to save some money for my travel, probably I will have to interrupt the training for working a bit in any way I find and then being able to buy flight tickets or making donations. With your help you will help me focus more on just training than on the monetary side of my travel.
For that I will be forever grateful and feel even more inspired to give my whole being in return to this marvelous Earth we happen to live in.
