    Need info to join a Buddhist Monastery

    Hello

    I am currently working as an IT manager in Bangalore.
    I would like to rid myself of all my material possession and join a Buddhist Monastery permanently. I would like to serve in the Monastery’s many ongoing projects as a volunteer forever.

    Can you guide me towards this goal?
    Thanks and warm regards
    Anupama
