About Event:
A Nyung Nä retreat is a two-day meditation, fasting and purification practice of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion. It is an extremely powerful way to heal illnesses, purify negative karma and open the heart to compassion. It is an effective spiritual, mental and physical detox.
This series of Nyung Nä retreats in 2025 will be eight individual two-day retreats, back to back and starts with preparation and introduction on the afternoon/evening of 26th May 2025 and ends with the Big Breakfast on the morning after Saka Dawa on 12th June 2025.
Each two-day Nyung Nä involves taking the eight Mahayana precepts, and doing prayers, mantra recitations and prostrations. The second day includes silence and fasting for 24 hours (taking no food or water)..
Participants may choose to attend all eight retreats or individual retreats. Even doing just one Nyung Nä is an extremely powerful method of purifying negativity and accumulating merit. No specific empowerments are needed.
About the retreat leader:
Ordained in 1987, Venerable Ailsa Cameron is a close student of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and has been editing his teachings since 1984 for the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. Venerable Ailsa has led the annual Nyung Nä retreats at Chenrezig Institute for twenty-five years.
