Practice of Eight Nyungnes

Led by: Lama Trinle

To participate in the practice the Chenrezig empowerment is required.
Lama Rinchen will give 1000-Armed Chenrezig empowerment on the 6th of November (Friday) at 7 p.m.

Nyungne is a practice of Yidam in kriya tantra tradition. It purifies a lot of negative karma in a short time. It is said that a clear practice of one Nyungne closes the gates to being reborn in lower realms. The same, clear practice of eight Nyungne leads to rebirth in the Pure Land of Dewachen.

Nyungne is a fasting meditation retreat combined with the intensive practice of 1000-Armed Chenrezig. First day only two, vegetarian meals may be eaten and during the second day completely nothing may be eaten or drunk. During the time of two days retreat it is obligatory to adhere to Mahayana sojong vows.

• 2nd Nyungne – beginning on the 9th November (Monday) at 7.00 a.m., end on the 11th October (Wednesday) at about 8.00 a.m.

Additionally on the 23rd November (Monday) – Milarepa tsok puja (tsok puja is not an integral part of Nyungne but is usually done as a concluding practice).

Each Nyungne is a complete whole, so one can take part in one, several or all eight Nyungnes. First time practitioners are encouraged to choose the first Nyungne, because the explanations for the meditation will be given then.
