First Turning of the Wheel of Dharma – Lunch

We warmly invite you to join us on Saturday, 18 July, to celebrate Chokhor Düchen (the First Turning of the Wheel of Dharma), one of the most auspicious days in the Buddhist calendar.

We will also celebrate our beloved Geshe Jampa Gyaltsen’s birthday. Although his actual birthday is 16th July, we will celebrate together on this special day. We are delighted that Geshe-la’s health continues to improve, and he has warmly invited all members and friends to join him for this joyful and meaningful occasion. We will continue the celebration with a special Lama Chopa at 7pm in the evening.
