       Turning the Wheel of Dharma at Changlimithang 

Just as the Lord Buddha, 

about 2500 years ago,

Gave the first sermon 

on the Four Noble Truths

To his five disciples at Sarnath

In Varanasi,


Just as the Lord Buddha,

Under the patronage of 

Dharma King Zugchen Nyingpo,

Imparted his profound teachings on Heart Sutra

To thousands sacred sangha and lay followers, 

Gathered at the Vulture Peak mountain,


The assemblage of the supreme holders

of all major traditions and lineages, 

And thousands of sacred sangha and laymen,

Under the patronage of great Dharma King, 

Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk,

Gathered at Changlimithang, in 2025,

And turn the Wheel of Dharma. 


Just as the Lord Buddha, 

Under the patronage of

King Dawa Zangpo of the sacred realm of Shambala, 

Bestowed the first Kalachakra empowerment, 

The supreme Lord, Je Khenpo Jigme Cheodra, 

Under the patronage of 

The great Bodhisattva King of Bhutan,

Conferred the empowerment of Kalachakra, 

Upon thousands of sacred sangha and lay practitioners, 

Gathered at Changlimithang. 

Thus, the radiant sun of 

The Buddha’s sacred teachings shone once again.


May the Buddha Dharma flourish and 

Rise higher and higher, and further and further.
