Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
This November, participants from across Argentina and Uruguay delighted in their 8th Dharma National Festival, guided by the NKT-IKBU General Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong. The attendees received the blessing empowerment of Buddha Amitayus, the Buddha of Long Life, Merit, and Wisdom. How wonderful!
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.
