Stainless Moon Confession Buddha & Nyungay Purifying Ritual Retreat
Fri Apr 12, 18:00 - Sun Apr 14, 17:00
Zoom Online
ABOUT
Every year we celebrate this event with the traditional two-day fasting purification practice known as Nyungnay, using the practice known as Drop of Essential Nectar. During this practice, we emphasize compassion, the very heart of enlightenment, by engaging in prostrations to 1,000 armed Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion.
This special fasting and purification practice is performed in conjunction with Eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara. It is very powerful for purifying negative karma of body, speech, and mind, and for pacifying strong delusions such as desirous attachment and hatred. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love, compassion, and bodhichitta.
