Hello friends

[Armando]

I am from Germany.

 

I am very pleased to be here with all of you.

 

My background is Bon and Nyingmapa Buddhism which I studied for some years at two different monasteries in Khatmandu, Nepal. In connection with that, I also studied some of the traditional Tibetan arts like herbology and astrology.

 

This is the first time that I join a forum. I am not quite sure how everything works. Maybe some of you could kindly show me around a bit... Please be patient with me if I make some silly mistakes at first.

 

I am very much looking forward to talking with you about various subjects... Or just to 'sit' with you for a little while.

 

Yours truly

Armando

Hi Armando,

 

Namaste and welcome.  If you have any specific questions about the forum, please let me know! Otherwise it is just replying to different threads. You made it this far, you should be good !  Looking forward to hearing some of your replies.  I hope you enjoy.

Thank you.

 

I appreciate the welcome.

Welcome. 

Many of us here would love to hear about life in a monastery.  What you liked about it, and things you found harsh. 

 

Thanks

Michael
