About the Evening Public Talk

Is it possible to find genuine peace in this digital age?

We live in a fast-paced world filled with distractions, constant notifications, and endless comparisons. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, restless, and disconnected from ourselves. But peace doesn’t come from switching off the world—it comes from changing the way we relate to it. Buddha’s timeless wisdom shows us how to stay calm and centred, no matter what is happening around us.

Join Buddhist monk and National Spiritual Director, Gen Kelsang Rabten for an evening of wisdom and meditation to help us step back from the busyness of life, quiet the inner noise, and reconnect with clarity, focus, and joy.

Everybody is welcome.
