April Filled with Blessings
Apr 23, 2024
From a global heart of compassion, offerings, praises, and prostrations to Thousand-armed (Eleven-faced) Avalokiteshvara resounded throughout the world on the second weekend of April. Practitioners worldwide engaged in Nyungnay retreats to develop their good hearts of compassion and wisdom so that, one day, they will be able to alleviate the suffering of our troubled world.
Nyungnay practice is a special purification ritual that is done once a year as a group practice in Kadampa Centers on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day. Many Centers organize a Nyungnay retreat where practitioners celebrate Buddha Shakyamuni’s attainment of enlightenment.
April 15 is Buddha’s Enlightenment Day, when we celebrate Buddha demonstrating how to attain enlightenment. Enlightenment is the inner light of wisdom that is completely free from mistaken appearance and whose function is to bestow mental peace upon each and every living being every day. It is the source of all living beings’ happiness.
