Young Buddhist Seeking Teacher and Friends.

Postby gabrielles » Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:33 pm

Hello (:
How is everyone. I'm a 20 year old living in Chesapeake Virginia. I will be 21 this august.

I've been forced to live a not-so-desirable lifestyle of homelessness since 2010, due to my parents abandonment. I was adopted as a child. Long story short, they do not associate with me anymore.

Since then I have picked up buddhism and it has greated enhanced my life. I've learned how to deal with suffering. I want nothing more but to keep growing spiritually.

I'm here to give advice,make wise friends , and to practice the dharma. I am seeking a guru/lama/teacher. I really want to be monk and live a spiritual life. (:If you wanna know anything just ask. I can be reached via email or any other network, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with me!

I want to share experiences.
