Rigp\u00e9 Yeshe Gathering at Amsterdam Rigpa Centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"kids<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In November, the Amsterdam Rigpa Centre hosted a joyful and successful gathering of Rigp\u00e9 Yeshe<\/strong>\u2014the first in several years. From 11 o\u2019clock, children and parents began to arrive, bringing with them toys, games, and plenty of enthusiasm. In total, we were 28 people<\/strong>, including 16 children<\/strong> aged between 18 months and 17 years, with most between 3 and 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day was filled with dancing, meditating, playing games, crafting, and singing<\/strong>. It was a super fun and relaxing get-together for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rinpoche shared his famous mengak<\/em>: when you leave the mind alone, it\u2014just like water\u2014automatically becomes clear. We demonstrated this with a large glass jar of clear water and two small bags of brown and white sand, representing negative and positive thoughts. The children eagerly stirred the water with a wooden spoon, turning it into a dark brown soup. We then let it rest until the end of the meeting, observing how clarity returned when left undisturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n

A wooden slide brought from home was a huge hit! Surrounded by mats and cushions, the little ones could release their energy without leaving the shrine room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch was a feast of love: homemade pizza, pasta salad, banana bread, delicious sandwiches, apple flaps, and cottage cheese cake. The abundance of food was as heartwarming as the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the break, we sang together with guitar accompaniment\u2014from sing-along songs to the Tara mantra. We even spontaneously turned the text from the kids\u2019 version of the Four Immeasurables prayer into a song. The first Rigpa hit was born! Around three o\u2019clock, we officially closed, but the craft table remained busy until the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, it was a wonderful start to a new Rigp\u00e9 Yeshe year<\/strong>! We plan to gather 3 or 4 times a year. If you have children, or know someone who does, spread the word\u2014this is what you can offer them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La prochaine journ\u00e9e Rigp\u00e9 Yeshe au Centre Rigpa d'Amsterdam aura lieu le 8 mars 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
