Contacting a monastery

[blazer]

I think it is the right time to contact a monastery and ask to pass a period there.
I'm going to contact Muttodaya monastery, as it looks the best choice at the moment.

Unfortunately i'm not still right with my health, there's a general inflammation which takes legs and back particularly, and concentration and discipline are still affected. At times is challenging, but bearable now.
Having managed to get some improvements the very last period, guessing for some further improvements the next weeks, i feel confident to plan a departure and go after 4 weeks from now.

I guess i should provide a sort of cover letter for the Sangha of the monastery. Any advice is welcome.
Thank you

What is exactly "immersion" in An10.99?

Thanks for the advices.
I would like to try the life alone in nature.
Unfortunately i currently have leg and back pain which makes it difficult. My walking capabilities are limited and i need resources to be not too far from me. It is for sure a limit. I would like to know more anyway.
I think it would be also important to meet some good members of the Sangha and confront myself with real buddhists.
As Ven. johann suggested Muttodaya, i'm quite confident there could be good chances for it, so i'm probably going to move in this direction.

Very useful to read more about this option, thank you.
Any further info is welcome.

I just went to the doctor and i cannot go anywhere in the short period, the last solution for the leg didn't work.
I have to start a pharmaceutical cure and have total rest, as large inflammation is in place.
Very sad for this.

The Sangha isn't a social service for consumer. If not able to leave home it's impossible to ever meet them.

It's of no use to ask people without any nissaya and firm caught in consume and fear to lose the liberality of consume.

Personally never tought it is a social service for consumer.

Nyom, the matter is rooted so deep in modern, marxist, culture, that people are not even dear to harm those providing for a "womb", thinking they have such as a right. It's serious, very serious, this usual pattern of approach.


The very first step toward the Gems means to leave one's palace and seek for sacrifices, services toward what's worthy for sacrifices, Nyom.

People of faith, born in good families, would always just seek for ways simply doing such: "What and where I could to services which serve for my long term happiness, and that of many."

It's a matter of the Maha Mangala to arrive on the path once given the right causes. Where and when? Who knows...? The more steady efforts in regard of liberality and giving toward that what's worthy to sacrifice for, the faster and firm bond/base/Nissaya toward it. Right and proper made bond for the sake of freedom from all bonds.

It's hardly possible to gain even basic right view where "modern" and common ideals have taken over the guidance toward liberation.

A helpful talk that can be adopted for all along the way, gross and refined, by Bhante Thanissaro Bhikkhu:

Better to Give than to Consume

In that manner, good to seek and ask better: where could I be of help in the area of the Sangha, to increase relation toward those walking on.
