People who have chosen the path of Buddhist, you should understand one important thing. To be born human is the highest grace in the world. Only in the world of people (and not animals or spirits) there is free will and, consequently, freedom of choice journey. But to be born a man fell not for everyone. According to the Buddhists, this chance is equal to that of a tortoise, rising from the depths of the sea and popping its head to the surface, gets his head in a small lonely wooden circle, thrown on the surface of the great oceans.

After it, you should request an audience with the Lama. After a conversation held during an audience with the Lama decides whether a person is willing to be a follower of the Buddha.
