nyung nay retreat

3-Day Immersive Retreat | June 7 – 9

About the Retreat

Nyung-nay (or “fasting retreat” in English) is a Vajrayana practice from the kriya (“action”) class of tantra. It is a powerful practice to develop compassion and bodhichitta – the mind that strives for enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. It is also a quick and effective method to purify negativities and collect merit.

In each session, we practice the sadhana (“method of accomplishment”) of Chenrezig, the Buddha symbolising compassion. The sadhana involves meditating on Bodhichitta (the aspiration to attain enlightenment in order to help all beings), visualizing Chenrezig, reciting prayers and mantras, and performing prostrations. Each session lasts approximately 3 hours.

Venerable Robina Public Talk: Be your own therapist

About

Join Venerable Robina as she discusses the importance of learning to be our own therapist, or as Lama Yeshe puts it: seeing our mind, noticing the anger, the attachment, the fears, and learning to work with them and change them. 

As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says. “[the mind] is what we have to become familiar with, that’s what we have to get to know deeply, and that’s where we have to be our own therapist. And that’s what we have to change, because that’s where the potential for enlightenment is. And that’s where all the potential for suffering is.”

This event is in-person only and will not be streamed online

Lhabab Duchen: Guru Puja w Geshe Samten

About Lhabab Duchen

Lhabab Duchen celebrates Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s return to Earth from the God Realm of the Thirty-Three after teaching Dharma for several months to the gods, including his mother, Mayadevi, who had died a week after Buddha’s birth and been reborn there. As a merit multiplying day, the karmic results of actions done on this day are multiplied 100 million times. This amazing result is sourced by Lama Zopa Rinpoche to the vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic.

Celebrate this special Buddha Day with Guru puja with Geshe Samten.

All welcome. Places are limited! Bring offerings of flowers and fruit.
