>>798389I have a rich cousin who's grandmother knew a very wealthy doctor that opened a clinic at a Tibetan Monestary in northern India. He's there for 6 months teachig english and learning to be a buddhist Monk, shaved head and everything. His brother died of cancer last year so he's really trying to "find himself" as he told me. We joke that he's going away to Bhutan to join the League of Shadows like Bruce Wayne.
He had to wait a couple years to do so because the bearacracy of the Indian government is so fucking corrupt, that getting a long stay visa there is next to impossible, and the situation is similar in other surrounding countries.
So basically connections and a lot of money are very helpful.
