Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
Aspiration (desire/wish) is one of the 51 mental factors in Venerable Geshe-la’s book “How to Understand the Mind”. The difference between a wise person and a fool is their aspirations; be sure your aspirations are correct.
More information on this subject can be found in the books How to Understand the Mind and How to Transform Your Life.
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.
