Celebrate the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma

On Friday 21 July, dharma practitioners around the world will celebrate Chökhor Düchen, the ‘Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma’ — one of the four major Buddhist holidays celebrating the life of Shakyamuni Buddha. It occurs on the fourth day of the sixth Tibetan lunar month. For seven weeks after his enlightenment, Buddha did not teach. Finally, encouraged by Indra and Brahma, he turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time, at Sarnath, by teaching the ‘Four Noble Truths’. The effects of our actions are said to multiply 10 million times on this day.

All are welcome.

Pre-booking is not required.
