Nyungne Retreat with Lama Kathy Wesley, Lama Tom Broadwater and Lama Ellen Buckingham
The Nyungne Retreat is designed to purify negative karma and accumulate merit and wisdom. It is a two-day practice focusing on the generation of the Bodhisattva attitude, the strict keeping of vows, and the recitation of the 1000-arm Chenrezig sadhana. Chenrezig is the Bodhisattva of Compassion, and his practice aids our development of loving-kindness and compassion. It is said that to accomplish the Nyungne, even once, can sever the currents leading to rebirth in the lower realms of existence.
Beginners and seasoned practitioners are encouraged to attend this profound practice. For those who are short on time, a one day practice on Saturday is recommended. Refuge and reading transmission is required to participate in the practice sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The reading transmission will be given during the Friday evening orientation.
Practitioners are encouraged to bring a mala. Practice texts and materials will be provided.
During the weekend retreat, there will be chanting sadhana practice multiple times each day including some prostrations. Lunch will be served on Saturday and then only water or fruit juice is permitted for the remainder of the day. Fasting with no food or drink on Sunday. The fast is broken with breakfast early Monday morning.
Unfortunately, there are no overnight facilities at this location.
