Time & Cost
Nyungnay
Fasting and Purification Retreat
Intermediate Level Retreat
April 14–15
15 April is Buddha’s Enlightenment Day. We celebrate this auspicious day by engaging in the Nyungnay Purification Ritual Practice.
Nyungnay is a special fasting and purification practice performed in conjunction with prostrations and prayers to Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, the nature of our Guru’s compassion.
This is a very powerful method for purifying negativity of body, speech, and mind, and for pacifying delusions such as strong attachment and anger. It is also a special way of improving our minds of love, compassion, and receiving the compassionate blessings of Avalokiteshvara.
