Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
More than one hundred people attended the Green Tara empowerment weekend with Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Tonpa. With so many people gathered to receive Tara's blessings at KMC Paris, the event was filled with energy and joy. The participants, some of whom were very new to Dharma, also appreciated receiving teachings on the theme of being supported in adversity. We learned about how, through relying on Arya Tara, we can swiftly receive help and transform adverse conditions. What a wonderful weekend!
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.
