In a world where stress, anxiety, and uncertainty seem constant, finding peace and clarity can feel out of reach.
Using Buddha’s ancient wisdom we can discover methods to develop real happiness and inner calm—through the learning to control and transform our own mind.

In this special talk, Gen Kelsang Demo will guide us on how to practically apply Buddha’s Training the Mind techniques in daily life to discover powerful tools to handle life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and a calm mind.

Gen Kelsang Demo is the US Western and Midwestern National Spiritual Director and the Resident Teacher at the International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon. She has been a student of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for more than 29 years and has been teaching Kadampa Buddhism since 1998.

Gen Demo is deeply respected as a teacher and practitioner. She demonstrates a wealth of practical knowledge and provides clear and inspiring teachings for people of all levels of interest.

Everyone is welcome.

Improvised theater! This one-hour show consists of 6 Mainstage castmembers. The audience will experience games, scenes and stories all made up moment to moment - the stakes are high, but the humor is... high-larious. Please don't use that as a barometer.
