nyung nay retreat
3-Day Immersive Retreat | June 6 – 8
About the Retreat
We warmly invite you to take part in a rare and powerful opportunity for purification and inner transformation—a 3-Day Nyung Näy Retreat, taking place from 6th – 8th June at Vajrayana Institute
Nyung Näy is a profound Tibetan Buddhist fasting and purification practice associated with Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion. Conducted over two days (and a morning), this retreat involves intensive prayer, mantra recitation, meditation, fasting, and silence, all guided by the heartfelt wish to purify negativities and awaken deep compassion within ourselves.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the Nyung Näy, this retreat offers:
A powerful method of purification—clearing negative karma and obstacles.
A deepening of compassion and inner clarity.
A sacred container of support, discipline, and community.
Participants often emerge from this practice with renewed energy, clarity of mind, and a sense of spiritual rejuvenation.
As Lama Zopa Rinpoche once said:
“Nyung Näy is a quick path to enlightenment… one of the most powerful means for transforming the mind and opening the heart.”
What to expect:
The retreat includes two days of strict practice.
The second day involves silence and fasting (no food or drink for 24 hours).
This retreat is offered in the spirit of compassion and healing—both for ourselves and for all beings. If you feel called to purify the past, live more fully in the present, and connect deeply with the energy of loving-kindness, we encourage you to join us.
