According to Rinpoche, if the practice is observed and carried
out sincerely, it is believed to remove one's negative elements,
sins, negative karma, accumulating positive karma and rebirth,
avoid violence, conflicts and even wars.
Being a simple monk yet a strict practitioner, words about
Rinpoche’s profound wisdom and his unique ability to heal people
with different ailments soon reached the ears of many devotees who
were in need of a true spiritual guidance. Gradually, more and more
people came to seek his blessing and guidance. Seeing the devotion
of the people and their genuine enthusiasm in practicing Dharma, In
1966, after his fourth year in Nepal, Rinpoche started the
practices of "Nyungney" at the Wochen Thuk-je Choeling monastery at
Swayambhu, Kathmandu.
However, the “Dharmachakra Monastery” was not big enough to
accommodate the practitioners whose number kept ever increasing.
Therefore, with the kind donation from various sources, Rinpoche
established a new Monastery nearby which came to be known as”
Woechen Thuk-Je Choeling Monastery”. It’s situated on the hill
opposite to “Swoyambhunath Stupa”. In the neighborhood below these
two monasteries are Manjushri temple, enshrining “Manjushri’s
throne” and a stupa dedicated of Kasyapa Buddha.
Nyungney is a simple religious observance carried out with fasting
on every alternative day of the course. A day of fasting followed
by a day of non-fasting combines to make a pair of days (chha) of
the "Nyungney". The duration or the number of such paired days
depends on the importance of the "Nyungney". Altogether six
"Nyungney" practices are observed in a year.
On the day of the fasting, the devotee is subjected to self-penance
where he or she is not to eat, drink, speak, or even swallow one's
own saliva and will follow a very particular routine for the day.
These practices of the "Nyungney" have always been carried out
under the personal direction of the Rinpoche even till today.
" I have been conducting and practicing "Nyungney" all these
decades for the restoration of a harmonious human society and for
the well being of every sentient being in this world, and I shall
always continue to do so".
