Nyung Na ~ Drop of Essential Nectar
Compassion Buddha Fasting and Purification Retreat
with Resident Teacher Ricc Bishop
Saturday, April 17th, 7:00am to 3:15pm
This special fasting and purification retreat is performed in conjunction with 1000 Armed, Eleven-faced Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. It is very powerful for pacifying our unpeaceful suffering minds such as desirous attachment and hatred. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love and compassion. Everyone is welcome. No previous experience necessary. Please note this practice includes making prostrations - a mental exercise in which we develop faith and respect for enlightened beings. For those who wish to express this mental prostration with a half or full-length physical prostration, comfortable clothing is recommended.
Note: If you wish to participate in any of the retreat sessions, you must take Precepts at 7:00 AM
