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.
