About event:

Please join Chenrezig Institute Sangha and Lay community as we come together to celebrate Chokhor Duchen, known in English as “Turning the Wheel of Dharma,”

This holy day commemorates the anniversary of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s first teaching.

It is said that for seven weeks after his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. Afterward, Indra and Brahma offered a Dharmachakra and a conch shell and requested Guru Shakyamuni Buddha to teach. Accepting, Guru Shakyamuni Buddha turned the wheel of Dharma for the first time at Sarnath by teaching the four noble truths.
