Celebrating Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day and the Birthday of our Spiritual Guide
Jun 4, 2026
Emptiness is the most meaningful object of understanding that we can gain in our life. But what does realizing it really mean? All of our experiences of problems and suffering have their root in not understanding or not realizing emptiness.
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.
