Making Prostrations To 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara

Wednesday 15th April

 

Celebrating 

Buddha's Enlightenment Day,

the 15th April.

​

​On this special day we celebrate Buddha’s Enlightenment by engaging in a fasting retreat.

We begin the day at 6.30am with Precepts, where we promise to try our best to refrain from non-virtue for the whole day. This practice involves having one simple meal only, at lunchtime. For the rest of the time we don’t eat, but just have simple drinks.

​

We engage in beautiful prayers called Essential Drop of Nectar. During these prayers we spend 15 - 20 minutes prostrating to Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion.

​

It’s necessary to take precepts at 6.30am in order to join these sessions. Please contact epc@samudracentre.org for more details.

​

In the evening we’ll engage in Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers to conclude this special celebration day.

 

 

Session times:

​

6.30am – 8am

8.45am – 10am

3pm – 4.15pm

7pm Offering to the Spiritual Guide Prayers
