Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide

Kadam Bridget explains how we can actively shape our future through small, everyday acts of kindness. She shares a story about someone living in a community whose quiet contributions were only noticed after her death showing that creating positive karma doesn’t require world-changing heroics, just a good intention to benefit others. Everyone can transform their lives.
