The gathering in Kalmykia will bring together Buddhist communities from over 30 countries for dialogue, culture, and cooperation

The Russian Republic of Kalmykia is set to host the 3rd International Buddhist Forum, a major international event celebrating spiritual dialogue and cultural unity. Scheduled to take place in the capital city of Elista from September 25 to 28, the forum is expected to welcome participants from more than 30 countries.

The event will serve as a vital platform for in-depth discussions on the evolution and contemporary relevance of Buddhism, the world’s fourth-largest religion, followed by an estimated 500 million people.

Aimed at reinvigorating the global understanding of Buddhist philosophy, culture, and practice, the forum will explore how these traditions intersect with the realities of modern life. It will also play a key role in fostering international dialogue and strengthening cooperation among Buddhist communities worldwide in the fields of science, education, and culture.

In Russia, Buddhism ranks as the third-largest religion after Christianity and Islam. It is most widely practiced in Kalmykia, where around 70% of the population identify as Buddhist. Other concentrations include the Republic of Tyva, with approximately 60% Buddhist adherence, and Buryatia, at 26%. Additionally, vibrant Buddhist communities can be found in major urban centers such as Moscow and St. Petersburg.

“Buddhism is a philosophy of life that helps people better understand themselves and the world – and to improve it,” the forum’s organizers said. They highlight that the event will “bring together dozens of countries where Buddhism plays a key role in preserving spiritual values, cultural heritage, and international cooperation for future progress.”

In previous years, the forum was held in Ulan-Ude, the capital of the Republic of Buryatia in Eastern Siberia. In 2023, it convened over 600 representatives from government agencies, academic institutions, religious groups, and non-governmental organizations across 13 countries. The most recent edition attracted 1,800 participants from 15 countries and 22 Russian regions, with total attendance surpassing 3,000 visitors.
