Let $X$ be a building, identified with its Davis realisation. In this paper, we provide for each $x\in X$ and each $\eta$ in the visual boundary $\partial X$ of $X$ a description of the geodesic ray bundle $Geo(x,\eta)$, namely, of the reunion of all combinatorial geodesic rays (corresponding to infinite minimal galleries in the chamber graph of $X$) starting from $x$ and pointing towards $\eta$. When $X$ is locally finite and hyperbolic, we show that the symmetric difference between $Geo(x,\eta)$ and $Geo(y,\eta)$ is always finite, for $x,y\in X$ and $\eta\in\partial X$. This gives a positive answer to a question of Huang, Sabok and Shinko in the setting of buildings. Combining their results with a construction of Bourdon, we obtain examples of hyperbolic groups $G$ with Kazhdan's property (T) such that the $G$-action on its Gromov boundary is hyperfinite.
