Update to Nyung-Nä Retreats

First day of Nyung-Nä Retreat at Institut Vajra Yogini, France.March 2013: In November, 2012 we reported that Lama Zopa Rinpoche was sponsoring students to do 108 Nyung-Nä retreats at Institut Vajra Yogini, France, from November 18, 2012 to June 20, 2013. We are happy to provide you with an update on this retreat!

The Lama Zopa Rinpoche Bodhicitta Fund has just offered 4,800 EUR toward the first half of the retreat. The students are now halfway through the 108 Nyung Näs. Nine students registered at various points but several canceled due to various reasons.

Four persons did 16 Nyung Näs including Madeleine Maso who is 90 years old.

Five other people did 8 Nyung Näs and about 50 others did one or more Nyung Näs.

In short: 65 participants in total have participated in one or more Nyung-Näs and almost 500 individual Nyung Näs have been accumulated since mid-November!

Please rejoice in the merit created and because this contributes to one of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's vast visions for the entire organization!
