"Today, especially in Western societies, we are in the midst of a major turning point where the very notion of “humanity” is being reexamined. As AI vastly surpasses #human logos—language and intellect—we will inevitably be challenged to cultivate our own capacity to recognize our own perspectives as human beings.
Through the mirror of #ai we are once again confronted with the question of what it means to be human." (Shoukei Matsumoto)

A mother holds her starving child in a painting by an unknown artist, found under a railway bridge. It reminds us that this hunger exists because of our world.

I define #evil as anything that denies and/or opposes our shared reality of systemic #intraconnectedness and #interbeing, in any form concrete or abstract, direct or indirect, as well as any and all impacts stemming from words spoken and actions taken from that position.
Both approaches reveal how sensing and shaping are the same process. When you slow down to notice the patterns you're already making, you discover you're already participating in systems others can enter and transform.

Within the introduction and roughly half of the first chapter, it's already among the most welcoming-feeling presentations of #interdependence / #interbeing / #emptiness (here presented as #belonging with good reason) I've ever come across. Also one of the better self-narrations I've heard in a while. Looking forward to how the rest of the book develops

A "Mom Hug" at the Buffalo Grove Pride march—an act of kindness that lit up the street and still sparks joy through this image. Karma, as Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, is how our actions ripple outward. This moment is proof. 💖🌈

The video was aired soon after Thay’s passing and soon after the invasion of Ukraine. It presents however, a valuable "How to practice during the unfolding Authoritarianism."
