Nyungnay Purification Retreat | 13-15 April 2026

On this special retreat we will spend two days with thousand-armed (eleven-faced) Avalokiteshvara – ‘Mahakaruna’ – the nature of our Guru’s great compassion.

Th retreat will involve making exquisite offerings, praises and prostrations and thereby accumulating huge merit, purifying vast negativity for ourself and others and receiving the most powerful blessing to propel ourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment.

Practiced in conjunction with Mahayana Precepts, Nyungnay 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.

There will be an introductory talk at 7pm on Monday 13th April with Kelsang Nampur, which will also be available to livestream. The retreat will not be livestreamed.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat to celebrate Buddha’s Enlightenment Day.
