Nyungnay Purifying Ritual Practice
April 14 & 15

Come celebrate Buddha’s enlightenment day! Nyungnay is a beloved practice engaged in every year to honor and remember Buddha’s enlightenment.

This special purification and fasting practice is performed together with prayers and prostrations to the Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. It is very powerful for purifying negativity and strong delusions such as desirous attachment and anger. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love, compassion, and bodhichitta.

Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves fasting and making three sessions of prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar‘, over two days. Usually the second day is accompanied by a full fast, although strongly recommend, this is not required.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.
