Of all the cultural traditions initiated by Trungpa Rinpoche, perhaps none have been observed with more enthusiasm and consistency than Children’s Day. “Dharma brats” and their parents have been decorating shrines and anticipating Children’s Day morning for forty-four years. Chögyam Trungpa himself arranged the first Children's Day shrine at the Kalapa Court in Boulder in 1978. Since then, shrines have been set up and taken down year after year in hundreds of households all over the world. The following is a selection of Children's Day posts from the Chronicles.
