Question
Hello
My name is Daniel Linkov.
I live in Bulgaria (Sofia).
I'd like to know what possibilities (places to find out that) I have to move to a buddhist monastery possibly in Thibet or China for example(that is one with good traditions) and possibly in the mountains.
Also what sporsorship possibilities exist for the travelling etc.

Greatly appreciate your help
Daniel Linkov

Answer
Hi Daniel,

Nice to hear from Bulgaria.  I don't think you have a lot of Buddhists over there.  Welcome to the path of peace and freedom.  Please refer to this website:
http://www.buddhanet.net

It's best that you contact the temple nearest you, or the tradition of your choice.  Then you can proceed from there.

Good luck.  Please come back if you still face problems.

Smile from justinchoo :-)
