Nyungnay Purification Retreat
Monday, April 14th
Tuesday, April 15th
Cost : $15.00
with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chenma
April 15th marks the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrating the attainment of enlightenment in 589 B.C.E. This is an extremely important day in the Buddhist calendar because our actions are 100,000 times more powerful than on other days.
Kadampa Buddhist Centers worldwide celebrate this day by engaging in a special purification and fasting retreat done in conjunction with prayers to the Buddha of Compassion.
This practice 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.
