Ciao Vincenzi. It may be better if we try to write in English rather than Italian as the majority of folks here only speak English. Forse sarebbe meglio se parlassimo in inglese dato che sono pochi chi capiscono l'italiano.
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Hi Vincenzo

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Please do remember that this is an English language forum. Posts in other languages other than English need to contain an English translation, otherwise they are treated as off-topic and can be removed from view.
kind regards,

Welcome Vincenzi!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

That is a hard question to answer sensibly, because Nepal is mostly Hindu and the Buddhist minority is mostly Mahayana-Vajrayana. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nepal and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_in_Nepal.

This might help.
Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.

Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.

His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.
- Lokavipatti Sutta
