Nyungnay Fasting & Purification Retreat with Gen Chitta
CELEBRATING BUDDHA’S ENLIGHTENMENT DAY
This special fasting and purification retreat is traditionally observed at Kadampa Centres worldwide on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day, celebrated on 15 April.
Over two days, we engage in the practice of Thousand-armed, Eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara, Mahakaruna, the manifestation of our Guru’s great compassion. Through making beautiful offerings, reciting praises, and performing prostrations, we accumulate vast merit, purify negativity for ourselves and others, and receive powerful blessings that strengthen our progress towards enlightenment.
The retreat is held within the framework of the Mahayana Precepts. It consists of fasting and three sessions of prostrations each day, using the sadhana Drop of Essential Nectar. On the second day a full fast is traditionally observed. Although strongly encouraged, this is optional.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
🕊️ Book at meditateni.org - £16 (£8 per day)
To participate in the retreat sessions, it is necessary to take the precepts on both mornings (Thursday and Friday). If you have not taken precepts before, please click here for information about the commitments involved.
