I would like to attend Machik Weekend because I want to learn more on how to help my homeland. I am passionate about Tibet because of my heritage, and I want to improve the lives of my fellow Tibetans inside Tibet. I am also very passionate about social justice issues, like poverty and access to education, of which Tibet, unfortunately, has many. Going to Machik Weekend would help me gain information and ideas on how to help native Tibetans and my community in Minnesota.
I remember that when I first got an interest in volunteering and social justice it was because, I wanted to, like in Buddhist teachings, "work for the benefit of all sentient beings". Then I thought about if there was a way to help not only Tibet but the whole world.
