Lama Yeshe Jinpa and Geshe Damchoe co-led  the anniversary of the of the Buddha's first turning of the wheel of Dharma, Chokhor Duchen.

Chokhor Duchen honors the day that the Buddha Shakyamuni first taught the four noble truths in Sarnath, India.  On this day, monasteries, nunneries and members of Buddhist Centers like Lion's Roar Dharma Center gather together to recite prayers and listen to teachings as an expression of gratitude for all we have been given.

Lion's Roar Dharma Center at Do Nga Dargey Temple in Sacramento, California, is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple within the Gelugpa Lineage.  Lama Yeshe Jinpa is the spiritual director and resident teacher of Lion’s Roar Dharma Center, which he co-founded with Geshe Losang Gyatso in 1992. In 1995, Lama Jinpa received direct heart/mind transmission from Geshe Gyatso after 25 years of Dharma practice and study. He is one of the few western lamas thus far recognized within the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism, the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
