But on the auspicious day, June 4 – Buddha’s Turning of the Wheel of Dharma Day – at Kadampa centres around the world, with minds of rejoicing and gratitude, we offer him our faith through using the special prayer Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from his Faithful Disciples and collecting our Guru’s name mantra in this one-day retreat.
