Module 14

Two Sakadawa Nyung Nä Retreats in Vermont: 
May 31, 2012 7:00pm – June 5, 10:00am
Led by Ven. Amy Miller at Milarepa Center, Barnet, Vermont.
Website: www.milarepacenter.org

Nyung Nä is a beautiful purification practice involving visualization of the Buddha of Infinite Compassion (Chenrezig). The three retreat sessions each day incorporate prayers, visualization, reciting mantras, and performing prostrations to help us develop more loving kindness and compassion in our hearts and minds. This retreat includes periods of fasting and strict silence and is a powerful, quick and effective method to both purify an enormous amount of negativity while collecting vast merit.

Kopan Vermont: A Retreat to Open the Heart, June 24-30, 2012, with Ven. Amy Miller at Milarepa Center, Barnet, Vermont.
Website: www.milarepacenter.org

If Nepal is too far and too expensive for you to visit, but you’ve always wondered about Kopan Monastery outside Kathmandu, join this unique retreat modeled after Kopan Monastery’s month long November course. Explore and meditate on the Gelug tradition’s path to enlightenment. Or if you have been to a Kopan course and would like to relive some of that experience, join our “Kopan reunion” during this worthwhile retreat.

This retreat fits perfectly into this long holiday weekend. Considering joining this wonderful experience to bring more meaning into your new year. Appropriate for all levels of practitioners, Vajrasattva is a deeply purifying practice and our program is great way to gain familiarity with how to do effective retreat. Videos of Lama Yeshe will be shown throughout the retreat and there will be retreat sessions of guided visualization, mantra recitation and silent meditation. A special ritual will be held on New Year’s Eve and the retreat concludes with a fire puja and New Year’s brunch. Musicians, bring your instruments to join our annual party!
