Purification & Fasting Retreat (Nyungne)
Come celebrate Buddha’s enlightenment day! Nyungne is a beloved practice we engage in every year to honour and remember Buddha’s enlightenment.
This special purification and fasting practice is performed together with prayers and prostrations to the 1000-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.
