Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
At the end of the NKT International Fall Festival, some of the Festival goers took the opportunity to visit a beautiful building that has been bought by NKT in Granada.
For twenty years Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche lived in Granada and so the area is considered very blessed by Kadampas. In 2022 when Venerable Geshe-la left Granada he shared his vision that a very special building would appear in Granada. This special building would be transformed into an urban temple for world peace to benefit the public and especially the people of Granada from whom Geshe-la had received much kindness over many years.
Enjoy this video of the magical visit to Granada.
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.
