Today is Chokhor Duchen, which is also the day on which we commemorate the anniversary of our Lord Shakyamuni Buddha’s first turning of the Wheel of Dharma at Varanasi in India. The first turning of the Wheel took place 49 days after Lord Buddha attained enlightenment. On this day, the merits of all virtuous actions and multiplied manifold. I hope that everyone will rejoice in our Lord Buddha’s teachings, and be constantly mindful of the path towards cessation of suffering. May all of you be blessed with peace and good health.
