Nyungnay • Purifying Ritual Practice

About the practice

Please note this is an advanced retreat.

Nyungnay is one of our most precious Kadampa Dharma Jewels and as a Centre practice it comes around just once a year.

We can spend two days with Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of great compassion, making exquisite offerings, praises and prostrations, thereby accumulating huge merit, purifying vast negativity for ourself and others, and receiving the most powerful blessing to propel ourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment. Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves two days of fasting with three sessions of prostrations a day using the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar’.

On day one we eat only one meal, between 12 – 1pm. You can drink water and tea for the day. Traditionally, the second day is accompanied by a full fast (no food or water). Although this is strongly recommended, it is not compulsory; instead, you can repeat the same partial fasting as day one.

If you haven’t attended this retreat before, you must attend the introductory talk on the Sunday night.

It is necessary to take Mahayana Precepts each morning at 6.30am to be able to engage in the retreat sessions.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.
