Join us for this special purification retreat
Usually, this practice is done over two days, with the Mahayana precepts being taken at the beginning of each day. On the first day, before taking the Mahayana precepts, there will be an introduction to the Nyungnay practice. On both days, having taken the precepts, we engage in three sessions, combining prostrations with chanted meditation.
On the first day, it is customary to abstain from all meals apart from lunch. On the second day, we engage in a complete fast, abstaining from all food and drink for 24 hours. Those who are unable to engage in a complete fast can participate in the sessions on the second day, provided they take the Mahayana precepts on that day.
