Nyung Na: The Means of Achievement of the Eleven-Face Great Compassionate One

The Nyung Na retreat is a two-day intensive practice that includes taking the twenty-four-hour Mahayana precepts with the addition of complete fasting and silence on the second day.

Doing even one Nyung Na is said to be as effective as three months of other purification practices and is extremely powerful for healing illness, purifying negative karma, and opening the heart to compassion. The 2015 revised version has many updates advised by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, including the addition of more prayers to Chenrezig and the stories of the Nyung Na lineage lamas.
