From 0715 today, Kadampa practitioners worldwide commence the two-day Nyungnay, Purifying Ritual Practice.

Within the rich tapestry of Buddhist traditions, the Kadampa lineage shines as a beacon of practical wisdom and compassionate action.

Rooted in the teachings of Atisha and Lama Tsongkhapa, Kadampa Buddhism offers a profound path to spiritual awakening through practices such as Nyungnay.

In the Kadampa tradition, Nyungnay is revered as a powerful means of purifying negative karma, accumulating merit, and invoking the blessings of Chenrezig (Avalokiteshva), the embodiment of compassion.

Under the guidance of an experienced Kadampa teacher, practitioners embark on the Nyungnay retreat with a blend of discipline, devotion, and joyful effort.

The structured sequence of rituals, including fasting, prostrations, mantra recitation, and visualization, serves as a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.

Through the rigorous discipline of fasting and the fervent recitation of mantras, Kadampa practitioners cultivate a profound sense of inner peace, compassion, and wisdom.
