Detox Your Mind: A Buddhist Fasting & Purifying Retreat Nyungnay
This annual fasting and purification retreat performed on or near Buddha’s Enlightenment Day is a powerful way to purify negative karma of body, speech, and mind, and to pacify strong delusions such as hatred and attachment. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love, compassion, and bodhichitta. In this retreat we rely on the Buddha of Compassion and a special chanted prayer practice.
In this retreat, we do a partial fast (eating only lunch, no breakfast, no dinner, liquids including coffee and tea are OK).
To participate in this retreat, you must come to the 6:30AM session to receive Mahayana Precepts, or if you have received them before, take them at 6:30AM at home.
