During my spiritual life living in Poland and Brazil., In reality, it wasn’t easy, but my life was very comfortable. No stress of paying bills. Everything was provided: Free housing, traveling expenses, food, clothes, and healthcare. Surround by students and helpers/assistants. People there to take care of all of my needs. I had people to cook, laundry, and clean my house.
Biggest challenges in my life was when I moved to USA from Brazil in 2001. I left my Monk lifestyle and spiritual lifestyle. I want to experience normal lifestyle. With no experience in normal life and proper Western formal education or a degree. I start my new life!
