Introduction aux 4 nobles vérités : Conférence avec un invité exceptionnel
Introduction aux 4 nobles vérités : Conférence avec un invité exceptionnel
Les 4 Nobles VĂ©ritĂ©s sont les premiĂšres instructions que Bouddha a donnĂ©es aprĂšs avoir atteint l’éveil sous l’arbre Bodhi Ă  Bodh Gaya. Dans ce monde de plus en plus troublĂ©, nos moments de bonheur sont Ă©phĂ©mĂšres et la paix intĂ©rieure nous Ă©chappe le plus souvent. Ces enseignements sur les Quatre Nobles VĂ©ritĂ©s sont des mĂ©thodes scientifiques pour nous libĂ©rer de nos Ă©tats d’esprits nĂ©gatifs, tels que les dĂ©sirs incontrĂŽlĂ©s ou la colĂšre, qui nous empĂȘchent de faire l’expĂ©rience d’un bonheur durable. **Pourquoi assister Ă  cette confĂ©rence ?** * Explorer la sagesse intemporelle partagĂ©e par Bouddha et dĂ©couvrir comment elle peut transformer notre existence. * RĂ©flĂ©chir sur le sens profond de notre vie et identifier la vĂ©ritable cause de la souffrance ainsi que la maniĂšre de s’en libĂ©rer. * Plonger dans des notions essentielles telles que l’impermanence et la vacuitĂ©. * Repartir avec des conseils pratiques pour Ă©tablir en nous plus de paix. * Participer Ă  un Ă©vĂ©nement avec GuĂšn Tonglam, du centre kadampa de Hong Kong, un enseignant international qui a plus de 30 ans d’expĂ©rience de la mĂ©ditation kadampa. Il s’agit d’un Ă©vĂ©nement spĂ©cial Ă  ne pas manquer !
Why Do We Suffer? A Buddhist Evening with a Special Guest
Why Do We Suffer? A Buddhist Evening with a Special Guest
2,500 years ago, the Buddha made a radical diagnosis of the human condition: we suffer, and this suffering has a cause. But above all, there is a path out of it. This Monday evening, the Kadampa Meditation Centre Paris is delighted to welcome Gen Kelsang Tonglam, from KMC Hong Kong, for a talk on the 4 Noble Truths: the Buddha's foundational teaching, at once strikingly clear and inexhaustibly profound. 🙏 Impermanence, karma, emptiness: these words come up often, but their deeper meaning transforms those who take the time to truly understand them. That is precisely what this evening offers. ✹ A rare opportunity to hear this teaching presented by Gen Tonglam. **"So precious to listen to a teacher with such experience"** *"What strikes me about Gen Tonglam is that you can sense a genuine experience of Buddhism in his daily life"*, shares Christophe, who attended the retreat guided by Gen Tonglam at KMC France. *"His teachings are regularly punctuated with examples of how he puts the Dharma into practice with those close to him, with the people he meets, and how he manages to transform the not-always-easy situations we all face. It is always so precious to listen to someone who shares such experience."* **"He will always find a way to meet you where you are"** *"And he possesses a truly exceptional quality"*, adds Kadam Olivier, the resident teacher of KMC Montpellier. *"He knows how to translate the teachings so that everyone can find something practical to take away, right now. Whether you are a complete beginner or very advanced in your practice, he will always find a way to meet you where you are. I truly hope you will be able to join us for this talk."* *** 📍 **Practical information** đŸȘ‘ **Limited seats** in the main hall: book as soon as possible to secure your spot. An overflow space with a live stream will be available for latecomers. đŸŽŸïž **Free entry** with the MĂ©ditation Pass, which also allows you to invite two guests for the evening. Without the pass, entry is €15 (€12 reduced rate). No one is ever turned away for financial reasons. 🌐 **Teaching in English with simultaneous French translation**, provided by HĂ©la Marzouk, a centre teacher and highly skilled translator. 🎧 **Remember to bring your earphones** for the best listening experience (a limited number are also available at the centre).

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals
 all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile).

Battle of the personal agents
Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
