Celebrating Buddha's Enlightenment 2025
Nyungnay practice is a special purification ritual that is done once a year in Kadampa Centers around Buddha’s Enlightenment Day. Here we can see the beautiful retreats that took place at Manjushri KMC, KMC Hong Kong, KMC Cuernavaca and Sukhavati KBC in Mexico, KMC Munich, KMC Heruka in Brazil, KMC Valencia and KMC Victoria in Canada.
CELEBRATING ENLIGHTENMENT AT MANJUSHRI KMC
We celebrated Buddha's Enlightenment Day with joyful gatherings and Nyungnay retreats to purify negative karma.
This is a day to celebrate our own innate potential to become enlightened and to rejoice in Buddha's great kindness in showing us a path to follow.

KMC cuernavaca in mexico
With joy and inner strength, nearly fifty people took part in the Nyungnay purification retreat at the beautiful KMC Cuernavaca. Over two days, after taking the eight Mahayana precepts, we engaged in chanted prayers to Avalokiteshvara to receive powerful blessings and purify obstacles to our spiritual practice.
In her heartfelt introduction, our dear Teacher, Gen Kelsang Nampur, explained the importance of purifying negative karma, reminding us that we have all committed harmful actions in the past.
Surrounded by a warm and peaceful atmosphere, we enjoyed meaningful conversations during the breaks, sharing insights from our spiritual path. With trust in our Spiritual Guide, we undertook fasting and made prostrations on behalf of all living beings.
