This day marks the first turning of the Wheel of Dharma. 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, teaching the Four Noble Truths.
Sangye Khandro and Lama Chonam will offer a short teaching on the meaning of this festival day. Then we will practice the Shakyamuni Buddha Puja: A Liturgy of the Buddha, called Treasury of Blessings by Mipham Jamyang Gyatso
