15 April is Buddha’s Enlightenment Day. We celebrate this auspicious day by engaging in the Nyungnay Purification Ritual Practice.

Nyungnay is a special fasting and purification practice performed in conjunction with prostrations and prayers to Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, the nature of our Guru’s compassion. This is a very powerful method for purifying negativity of body, speech, and mind, and for pacifying delusions such as strong attachment and anger. It is also a special way of improving our minds of love, compassion, and receiving the compassionate blessings of Avalokiteshvara.

* You are welcome to join all or any of the sessions provided you receive the Mahayana Precepts at 6:30am on that day (during the 1st session of each day).

15 April (Saturday) – abstain from meals apart from lunch (vegetarian lunch will be available at the Centre, you can book when you make the online booking)

16 April (Sunday) –  abstain from meals apart from lunch or abstain from all food and drink for 24 hours (please choose whichever is suitable for you)

Commentary to this practice with Gen Kelsang Tonglam, 7:30pm – 9:00pm on 13 April

The Commentary and the Mahayana Precepts will be conducted in Cantonese with English translation. All prayers will be chanted in English. We will use A Pure Life prayer booklet and Drop of Essential Nectar prayer booklet. Please bring your own copies. If you wish, you can purchase at the Centre.
