Chokhor Duchen Holy Day: Cake and Tea Community Gathering
|
Wednesday, July 26
Join us to rejoice over tasty cake and tea to celebrate the anniversary of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s First Turning of the Wheel, his first teaching. It is recounted that for seven weeks after his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. After this period, 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.
