Taking refuge weekend (Tibetaans Boeddhisme) ^{Tibetaans Boeddhisme}

In Buddhism, taking refuge forms the foundation of the spiritual path. Taking refuge means placing our heart and trust in the Three Jewels: the Buddha as inspiration, the Dharma as the path, and the Sangha as the supportive community. It is the first and most essential step on the path—a conscious choice to connect life with wisdom, compassion, and inner growth.

From February 13th to 15th, 2026, we will gather for a special Refuge Weekend, during which we will deeply explore the meaning of refuge: what it truly means, how we can deepen it, and how it can guide us in daily life. In addition to study and explanation, there will be time for meditation, reflection, and personal exchange. For those who wish, there is also the opportunity to formally take refuge under the guidance of our dear teacher, Lama Jigmé Rinpoche.

With his clear, warm and practical approach, Rinpoche takes us step by step to the essence of refuge – not as an abstract concept, but as a living and inspiring reality.

This weekend offers a valuable opportunity to deepen the foundation of Buddhist practice and to practice together in an atmosphere of openness and dedication.
