Please enjoy these photos from our recent Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment - it was such a joyful event! 😍 Our Resident Teacher, Gen Chogma, also gave commentary to The Liberating Prayer and taught us how to use this special prayer, written for us by our precious Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, to develop deep faith in Buddha. In this way we can continually receive the blessings of Guru Buddha.

We thank everyone who helped to organise this special day as it takes the kindness of lots of volunteers to create such auspicious events. 🙏

Nyungnay Purifying Ritual Practice
Tue 14th & Wed 15th Apr

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

Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves fasting and making three sessions of prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar‘, over two days. Usually the second day is accompanied by a full fast, although strongly recommended, this is not compulsory. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.

This is an intermediate level retreat – some experience of Kadampa Buddhism is advised.
Cost: £24 for the whole retreat. (does not include donation towards Precepts lunch)
This retreat is free for Monthly Members.
