Chökhor Düchen

Chökhor Düchen (July 25, 2009) is the anniversary of the "First Turning of the Wheel of Dharma" (first teaching). One of the four major Buddhist holidays, 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.’

Chökhor Düchen is considered a 10 million day - all the good (and bad) that you do is multiplied 10 million times.

May the merit of our activities be dedicated to the enlightenment of all beings, so that we may all cross the ocean to enlightenment with none left behind, to the long life of all of our teachers, and to the spread of the Dharma throughout all time and space.
