Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
We learn to control our own mind every day. Our mind can give us a happy life or a wretched life. Add any of the eleven virtuous mental factors to our mind and our whole mind becomes virtuous. We can learn to change our own mind from unhappy to happy through the power of Dharma.
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.
