Nyungnay Purification Ritual Practice

Nyungnay is one of our most precious Kadampa dharma jewels and as a centre practice, it comes around just once a year – on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day.

We can spend two days with thousand-armed (eleven-faced) Avalokiteshvara – ‘Mahakaruna’ – the nature of our Guru’s great compassion, making exquisite offerings, praises and prostrations and thereby accumulating huge merit, purifying vast negativity for yourself and others and receiving the most powerful blessings to propel yourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment.

Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it 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.
