Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
At this time we are witnessing many Kadampa centers around the world opening to the public again after lockdowns and providing teachings, meditations and pujas in-person as well as online. Check with your local center for details of their re-opening plans. Here is a short video made by KMC Austria in Vienna to celebrate their re-opening.
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.
