Ven. Dorzin Dhondrup Rinpoche will be leading the 11th Thousand Armed Chenrezig Nyungne Retreat from 9th to 11th March 2024 (3 days, 2 nights), which is open for both stay-in and online participation.

The Nyungne Retreat is an austere practice of fasting based on the supplication to Lord Chenrezig in his thousand-armed form. This practice is known to be a powerful method for karma purification, merit accumulation, pacifying obstacles on the path to enlightenment, and enhancing one's spiritual advancement.

The Retreat was revealed by Gelongma Palmo, who was believed to be a princess of Oddiyana before renouncing the palace and becoming a fully ordained nun. Despite being extremely learned and endowed with extraordinary beauty, she was later afflicted with the dreadful disease of leprosy.

However, through rigorous and intensive ascetic practices of fasting, recitations, and meditation on Avalokiteshvara, she was able to cure her leprosy and become a great siddhi.

The Nyungne Retreat is a two-and-a-half-day practice that revolves around mantra recitation, prostration, and meditation on the Eleven-faced, Thousand-armed Chenrezig. The word Nyungne can be translated as "abiding in the fast."

On the first day of the retreat, at early dawn, the master will bestow The Eight Precepts (Sojong), which restores (so) all positivities and purifies (jong) all negativity. After receiving the precepts, all participants are encouraged to focus their body, speech, and mind on prostration, mantra recitation, and meditation.

Participants are permitted to have one vegetarian meal (without garlic and onions, etc.) by midday on the first day. After that, no solid food is allowed, although drinking is still permitted.

The second day of the retreat is the actual fasting day, during which one must continue the practice without food or drink for 24 hours, strictly observing the Eight Precepts and refraining from talking. The fasting period ends at early dawn on the third day, followed by traditional rituals of making offerings and prayers.

During the retreat, the recitation will be conducted in Tibetan, English and Vietnamese.

The 18th Two-Day White Tara Retreat is scheduled to take place on 31 December 2023 and 1 January 2024, from 9 am to 6 pm at the Drigar Thubten Dargye Ling centre. The retreat will be guided by Ven. Dorzin Dhondrup Rinpoche.

His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche has extensively expounded on the advantages of White Tara practice. White Tara, a revered figure practiced by all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, has been the primary deity for many renowned Buddhist scholars and Siddhas in India and Tibet. Among these luminaries are Nagarjuna and Atisha. White Tara's unique purpose is to foster longevity, peace, prosperity, and health through her enlightened activities, benefiting both the practitioner and others.

The Annual White Tara Retreat is specifically organized for World Peace & Prosperity, the Well-being of all Sentient Beings, the revered gurus, and the longevity of His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche.

Let us unite our hearts in welcoming the approaching New Year 2024 through meritorious activities such as chanting and writing the White Tara Mantra for the collective benefit of all.
