Nyungnay Purifying Ritual Practice

DSCF6189

Nyungnay is one of our most precious Kadampa Dharma jewels and as a centre practice it comes around just once a year – on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day.
We can spend two days with thousand-armed (eleven-faced) Avalokiteshvara – ‘Mahakaruna’ – the nature of our Guru’s great compassion, making exquisite offerings, praises and prostrations and thereby accumulate huge merit, purify vast negativity for ourself and others and receive the most powerful blessing to propel ourself swiftly along our path to enlightenment.

Wrapped within the practice of Mahayana Precepts, it involves fasting and making three sessions of prostrations, with the sadhana ‘Drop of Essential Nectar‘, over two days. Usually the second day is accompanied by a full fast, although strongly recommend, this is not compulsory. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special retreat.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.

The teachings were profound, and the atmosphere was filled with kindness and serenity. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking personal growth and transformation.

Day Retreat

Apr 5, 2025

NKTB2323

The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of NKT–IKBU by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in 1991.

The occasion is marked by special events and by pujas and dedications at Kadampa centres worldwide. Prayers are made for the flourishing of Kadam Dharma throughout the world so that all living beings might quickly find permanent inner peace.

Above all, we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in founding NKT–IKBU. At Manjushri KMC we will be engaging in a special day retreat reciting Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s name mantra and then Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog in the evening of NKT Day.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.

Christmas Course - The Gift of Peace and Relaxation

Special Event

Dec 24 - 28, 2024

Manjushri KMC - ROBI7358

CHRISTMAS EVE & DAY  + MEDITATION RETREAT

During this Christmas Course in the beautiful relaxing environment of the Temple for World Peace and grounds, you will receive teachings on love, compassion and wisdom, and be guided in meditations that help you to find your own inner peace. You will also be shown how to use these instructions to deal with difficult situations and still retain a peaceful mind. You will come to realize that by following Buddha's teachings you can gradually become your best self – having the wisdom and spiritual energy to benefit others

'If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be.' Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche  How to Transform Your Life

If our mind becomes peaceful then a peaceful world will appear to us, and with peaceful thoughts comes both mental and physical relaxation. If we practise meditating on Buddha’s instructions we can find not only a temporary peaceful mind, but eventually give ourself the gift of a permanent experience of peace. This is the most meaningful gift for ourself, and for all those we care about.

Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat

In-Depth Retreat

Nov 22 - 28, 2024

39-020__MG_7278-summer-festival

Guru Yoga and Mandala offering retreat combines two of the four great preliminary guides that we need to practice if we want to gain Mahamudra realisations – the quick path to enlightenment.

We all wish for spiritual realisations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.

In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings. Making mandala offerings is the gateway to accumulating the collection of merit and attaining an enlightened pure land and Guru yoga is the gateway to receiving powerful blessings of all the Buddhas of the ten directions through our Spiritual Guide.

There will be four sessions a day, except when there are tsog offering Pujas, and the practice is accomplished within the sadhana Offering to the Spiritual Guide.

All retreat sessions will be held in the North Wing Meditation Room and pujas as indicated are in the Temple.
