Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
Recently at IKRC Kailash IRC Gen Devi, the Resident Teacher, guided a powerful 10-day retreat on Mahamudra Tantra. This was followed by a wonderful weekend course on Buddhist Art with Beat and Yolanda.
"The Mahamudra retreat was an immersive and expansive experience - training in concentration and eventually focusing on the very subtle mind."
"At the Dharma Art Weekend we had a super fun, relaxed and blessed time learning to draw and paint Buddhas and make tormas. Thank you to everyone for joining, and thank you to Beat and Yolanda for sharing your skills and experience on how to make these meaningful and profound objects."
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.
