We are delighted to welcome a new member into the monastic community of Lerab Ling. After two years of dedicated probation, Alexandre has received the getsul ordination from Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche on March 8th, 2026, at Urgen Dorje Choling Monastery in Pharping, Nepal. He now bears the Dharma name of Ngawang Yeshe Wangpo.

In November the Amsterdam Rigpa Centre was the venue for a very successful renewed gathering of Rigpa Yeshe—after a break of several years. Read about the fun gathering, and more gatherings to come!

Three years after being formally entrusted, nearly 200 Teachers and Practice Holders gathered in person and online at Lerab Ling for their first big collective meeting. This historic 7-day gathering combined celebrating Sogyal Rinpoche's legacy with reflection, discussion and exchanges on the challenges and inspirations of holders, creating what many described as an inspiring international family reunion.
