As we travel across the endless ocean of samsara's suffering, we can look for protection to the Three Jewels. The Dharma Jewel is like a boat, the Buddha Jewel is like a skillful navigator and the Sangha Jewel is like the dependable crew that will help us reach the shore of permanent freedom from pain and problems. On this retreat, we will deepen our practice and experience of Buddhist refuge.

Nyung Nay ~ Purification Retreat
Begins on the second week of April over a weekend.

This beautiful practice is very powerful for purifying our negative karma of body, speech and mind, and for pacifying strong delusions such as desirous attachment and hatred. On each day we will begin with Mahayana precepts, and then engage in three sessions of chanted praises and prostrations to the Buddha of Compassion.
Cost: $15 per day $25 for retreat.
