SUMMARY:Nyungne Retreat - The Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig
DESCRIPTION:In light of the coronavirus outbreak\, to protect the well-being and safety of everyone\, Palpung Thubten Chöling Monastery remains closed to the public.  \n  \nThe resident sangha of PTC will be practicing 8 consecutive sets of Nyungne (the Fasting Ritual and Meditation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig). This retreat will be held during the auspicious month of Sakadawa\, the month commemorating the birth\, enlightenment and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is said that\, during this time\, the merit accumulated through performing virtuous activity is multiplied 100\,000 times. \nThe Nyungne practice is a profound kriya tantra meditation ritual based on loving-kindness and compassion in the form of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig.  The practice involves maintaining strict vows and meditating while reciting mantras and prayers\, and performing prostrations and visualizations. Undertaken in sets of two days\, the first day includes one vegetarian meal at noon\, drinking water throughout the day as needed. The second day is a complete fast performed in noble silence. The Nyungne is renowned as a superior means to purify negative karma and accumulate great merit. \nChenrezig himself declared that completing even one Nyungne prevents rebirth in the lower realms\, and the practice of eight consecutive Nyungne leads to birth in Amitabha’s pure land of Dewachen. \n  \nThe dates for each set are as follows: \nSet 1   Begins May 11 (Tuesday) at 5:30 am.  Ends May 13 (Thursday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 2   Begins May 13 (Thursday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 15 (Saturday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 3   Begins May 15 (Saturday at 5:00 am.  Ends May 17 (Monday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 4   Begins May 17 (Monday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 19 (Wednesday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 5   Begins May 19 (Wednesday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 21 (Friday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 6   Begins May 21 (Friday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 23 (Sunday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 7   Begins May 23 (Sunday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 25 (Tuesday) about 6:00 am.\nSet 8   Begins May 25 (Tuesday) at 5:00 am.  Ends May 27 (Thursday) about 9:30 am.\n\nAlthough the monastery is closed to the public\, there are many ways to share in the merit of this retreat through sponsoring the chanting\, meals and the tea served during the chanting on non fasting days. Be sure to include a prayer with your donation which will be read aloud to the assembly.  \n  \nYou may make your donations on-line or simply mail your tax-deductible contribution to: \nPalpung Thubten Chöling\nAttn: Office\n245 Sheafe Road\, Wappingers Falls\, NY 12590. \n  \nPlease make checks payable to Palpung Thubten Choling or PTC.
