Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
On the first Saturday of November we celebrate the work of the International Temples Project, a global charity inaugurated by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche to promote the development of Kadampa Buddhism worldwide.
To mark the occasion we are sharing a short video showing the work of the ITP in opening City Temples around the world.
Please enjoy.
June 4 is the Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day on which we celebrate Buddha’s first teaching in this world - the first Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. It is also the birthday of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the Founder of NKT.
