Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
Last weekend Gen Kelsang Dragpa, the National Spiritual Director of the Nordic region, granted the empowerment of Buddha Prajnaparamita and gave commentary to the practice at this year's Swiss Dharma Celebration.
"It was a delight to welcome Gen Kelsang Dragpa for the first time at Kailash International Retreat Centre where he shared these sublime teachings with over 100 people from all around Switzerland.
The morning meditations were guided by Kadam Helen Oester and the retreat by Gen Kelsang Devi.
"It was such a magical and blessed time for the Swiss Sangha to come together and joyfully celebrate pure Buddhadharma."
