    Such a lovely and subtle way to talk about something so complex and painful as capitalism. You have softened the seeds of hatred and angry in me. Thank you so much. 🙏

    A truly inspirational talk, Sister True Dedication and others helping thank you. This talk was pure Thay in spirit and community. I feel Plum village is the North star in my life and hope to visit or attend a community here in Australia. I learnt so much to apply the ethical principle to my work environment. I also cried tears of joy and humility with Sister True Dedication at the close and you honoured the seeds of Thay that grew in me as I listened with a heart that was opened by your graceful words, actions and presence. 🙏 thank you all.

    You are partly right, Sister. The best ancestors now are the ones who truly defend the natural world, and who truly try to prevent violence and exploitation (systemic or other). We're many chapters past the time of sensitization, kind Sister.

    Capitalism needs to be regulated because history has taught us that humans can be weak in the area of ethical decision making - and here we are today - climate chaos and an incredible disconnection to Earth and ALL our relations. Thank you for your teachings.

    It's a blessing for us all that Sr. Hien Nghiem was a busy lay person before 😇
    The challenges facing the world are immense and we need to be kind to ourselves as we try to solve these challenges as best we can ❤

    You are very brave and skill full, to approach such complex and systemic challenges with the truth and simplicity of the dharma, offering ideas that are relevant, practical and radical to how we run businesses and organisations. A thousand times “thank you”. Makes me think there should be a module on spirituality in business at the top business schools

Now that said, those of us who live on an island and have limited opportunities for obtaining necessities of life need to rely on the internet to obtain certain goods, but yes, I try to limit these purchases to reduce carbon footprints, but whether I rely on the internet and delivery services or take the ferry/plane, I am still stepping more heavily on the earth than I would like to...

    20:23 "we can take actions to mitigate the problems of our time and adapt our economic systems and infrastructure but ultimately that third pillar transforming that structure are the humans who will be in that system in 25-150 years. How will those humans be responding to the challenges of their time? We can't anticipate those challenges, but what if we could establish a way of being that we cultivate, and that's what we transmit for the generations to come...so they will know how to breathe in a crisis."

    32:26 "What keeps you awake at night?" For me, this question sincerely cuts through an immense weight I've been carrying in my recent life. in that I have been thinking very intently about the direction my life is facing. If my actions are positive, and rooted in substantive motives. at least that's my hope along with many other systems of thought. 10/27/2023

    What a courageous and insightful dharma talk. You are talking about a change in the economic system. And the changes in consciousness it requires from all of us listening to you and Thay. If our deepest desire includes the reduction of social inequality and the urgently required changes to reduce global warming, we can all think and act according to our individual circumstances to further these crucial outcomes. It are not the efforts of a few heroes but the collective efforts of everybody that gets what you are saying and what needs to be achieved.

  • @georgepotter1820
    @georgepotter1820 Před 10 měsíci

    Evolution or extinction? Are we able to learn to live in harmony with each other, nature and technology including AI? Sustainability not profitability. Mindfulness and self love, respect not exploitation. Our species faces a major die off, the population is passing the peak, passing a tipping point where our population goes from exponential growth to a transition to a new sustainable relationship with the ecosystem that has sustained us up until now. That downward curve can be as steep as a cliff which falls to zero, extinction, or it can begin steeply and recover as it returns to historic levels of sustainability, pre-technology levels such as pre-Columbian America. This could lead to a selection pressure that would produce a new species of hominid, speciation. The curve could be more gentle and could include technological solutions that would level off at a population that could both live more harmoniously with nature and each other and incorporate technology that would represent an evolution into a new species of technologically enhanced humanity, cyborgs. Taking life to other planets, terraforming and evolving new species of humans who could survive other planetary ecologies is another path that will require technologies including genetic engineering to reach for the stars. Managing these changes in a moral and humane way brings hope to a future that appears very scary from our selfish and ethnocentric perspectives. Keep up the good work or as John Perkins says "Dream True" instead of living like the hero of his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." Be blessed, you are a blessing. Aboriginal cultures have much to teach us.
