 FASTING RETREAT

The Nyungne Retreat is a practice of austerity and fasting based upon the supplication to Lord Chenrezig in the thousand-armed form. It is a powerful means for karma purification and merit accumulation, to pacify obstacles on the path to enlightenment, and to heighten one’s spiritual advancement.

It is based upon the sadhana of Gelongma Palmo’s tradition. Nyungne is “abiding in the fast, “a two-and-a-half-day practice centered around mantra recitation, prostration, and meditation on the eleven-faced, Thousand-armed Chenrezig. And on the first day started from early dawn, bestowing the eight vows of Mahayana Sojong by our Abbot in our main shrine. After the sojong, all participants are urged to apply their body, speech, and mind focus on prostration, mantra recitation, and meditation.
