Nyungne:  Special Two-Day Purification Retreat Celebrating Buddha’s Enlightenment Day


Monday & Tuesday, April 14 & 15 

Every year to celebrate Buddha’s Enlightenment Day, we engage in the fasting & purification practice of 1,000-armed Avalokiteshvara, called Drop of Essential Nectar, which is a wonderful meditation on love and compassion, and a deeply effective prayer for world peace. This practice is very beneficial for purifying negative karma before it ripens and for pacifying delusions. You are welcome to join in for just part of the retreat, however, to participate in any of the retreat sessions, you must take the precepts at 6:30am that day.
