Nyung Ne Retreat
May 25th 2024

Nyung Ne is a powerful healing practice of the thousand Arm Chenrezig. It is the ultimate practice for purification from ordinary states of being to awakening and is also in line with traditional rites of spring cleansing. Our natural mind itself is pure; Nyung Ne purifies our mental impurities, our conflicting emotions, and dualistic view so we can gain a greater glimpse of wisdom.
At the beginning of the practice: one takes refuge, generate bodhicitta, and vows to maintain silence as well as recite the Sahana and mantra of compassion.
A light vegetarian lunch will be provided after that you will vow to fast till sunrise next day.
While it is common for non-vegetarian practitioners to abstain from meat for the full month of Saga Dawa, Tulku Orgyen Rinpoche has specifically requested that all participants maintain a vegetarian diet for Saturday including breakfast.

​His Holiness the 7th Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche was born in 1966 at Tongshang Thrichu Gonpa, Eastern Bhutan. His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa recognized the boy as the 7th Namkhai Nyingpo.

The first Namkhai Nyingpo was one of the close five heart sons and one of the twenty five principal disciples of Guru Padmasambhava. He was an accomplished master and was among the first seven to receive the ordination of monks in the eighth century. He was also the root Lama of the great Buddhist King Trisong Detsen. Subsequently, there have been many successive reincarnations of Namkhai Nyingpo including Treasure Revealers.

Rainbow in Pemaköd

Dear Friends and Sangha members,

 

Tulku Orgyen has left to teach in Vietnam and Cambodia, followed by an extended stay on his retreat land in Pemaköd. He will return in early March.  

 

While he is away this winter, Odiyana Institute will host a five-week study group on Shantideva's The Bodhisattva Way of Life. In addition to the assigned readings, we will all participate in wide-ranging (and no doubt lively) discussions on practical ways to use this material in our lives.

  

Please come and bring your thoughts on how Shantideva's writings can support and inspire our practice through bodhicitta.

 

When & Where:

 

We will meet weekly on Saturday afternoons from 2pm to 3:30pm at 1524 Anacapa Street.

The dates are Jan.13, 20, 27 Feb. 3, 10th.

 

Please contact Marie Janisse at odiyanainsb@gmail.com if you plan to attend. 

 

Recommended donation of $10 per session goes to support the ongoing activities of Odiyana Institute.

 

Bodhicitta is precious,

May those who have not engendered it, engender it. 

May those who have engendered it not destroy it. 

May it ever grow and flourish.

We will  continue to hold our Chenrezig Practice

(Buddha of Compassion)

Sundays from 10-11am

We also gather at 7pm twice a month for Tsok.
