Nyungnay
Retreat

Nyungnay is one of our most precious Kadampa Dharma jewels and as a centre practice it comes around just once a year – to celebrate 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. We receive the most powerful blessings to propel ourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment.

Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves fasting and making prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar‘, over two days.

Usually the second day is accompanied by a full fast (nil by mouth). While recommended, this is not compulsory. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.
