Chökhor Düchen, the ‘Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma’. 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 Rime Center will host a special puja to commemorate Chotrul Düchen beginning at 7:00 pm. The puja will be in-person and online using Zoom. If you want to attend online click on the button to register in advance for the Zoom link.
