Nyungnay purifying ritual practice
Nyungnay retreat | 14th-15th April | with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Drolkyi
Nyungnay is one of our most precious Kadampa Dharma Jewels and as a centre practice we do it once a year. Wrapped within the practice of ‘Mahayana Precepts’, it involves fasting and making 3 sessions of prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar.’
We spend two days with thousand-armed (eleven-faced) Avalokiteshvara – ‘Mahakaruna’ – the nature of our Guru’s great compassion, making exquisite offerings, praises and prostrations and thereby accumulate huge merit, purify vast negativity for ourself and others and receive the most powerful blessing to propel ourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment.
Everyone is welcome to join for this special retreat on Buddha’s enlightenment day.
