From November 12 to 16, 2026, Elista will host a Youth Buddhist Forum aimed at young people interested in Buddhist values, philosophy, and culture. The main goal is to create a space for dialogue on how ancient traditions can support life in the modern world.
The program includes lectures and discussions with spiritual mentors and experts, meditation and mindfulness practices, and master classes on Buddhist culture, art, and ethics. It will also serve as a platform for exchanging projects and connecting with like-minded participants. The event will conclude with a cultural program introducing guests to Kalmyk traditions, music, and cuisine.
