Nyung Na ~ Purification Retreat
Saturday, April 12th-Sunday, April 13th
We celebrate Buddha’s Enlightenment with a two-day purification and fasting retreat in conjunction with 1000-armed Avalokiteshvara practice. This beautiful practice is very powerful for purifying our negative karma of body, speech and mind, and for pacifying strong delusions such as desirous attachment and hatred. On each day we will begin with Mahayana precepts, and then engage in three sessions of chanted praises and prostrations to the Buddha of Compassion.Cost: $15 per day $25 for retreat.
Session Times (Saturday & Sunday)
6:30am - Mahayana Precepts
(you must take precepts to do any of the sessions)
9:00am - Session One
11:00am - Session Two
2:30pm - Session Three
