Nyungnay Fasting & Purification Retreat

Self Guided Retreat


In-Person & Live-Streamed

April 14th & 15h

$15 for the whole retreat
$10 for only Friday


Nyungnay is one of our most precious Kadampa dharma jewels and as a center practice it comes around just once a year – on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day. We can 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.

Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves fasting and making three sessions of prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar’, over two days. Usually the second day is accompanied by a full fast, although strongly recommend, this is not compulsory. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ritual aspect of this retreat, all of the sessions for this retreat will only be available live and not for replay.

In order to engage in the sessions each day, you must take precepts in the morning on both Thursday and Friday. If you haven’t taken precepts before, please click here to learn about the commitments of precepts.
