“There's a real sense of masculine gentleness that’s not weakness. The Zanskari men are fierce. They're strong. But they don't have that need to express a dominance that borders on violence. I always felt incredibly safe with them.” Amy Edelstein https://lnkd.in/dAypYh_V #3rdspace #buddhadharma #podcast #community #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

“The world of education is changing radically, and I believe we have a narrow window to train the technology that everybody's going to be using. But not on the aggregate of what's out there on the internet, which is a very low standard of human consciousness. But to train them in the best. I'm currently in a program where we're learning how to build individual AI tutors. What I'm interested in is the deeper substrate of how these AI tutors are trained, and to train them in some of the traditional wisdom principles.” Amy Edelstein https://lnkd.in/dAypYh_V #3rdspace #buddhadharma #podcast #community #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

“The transition at death is very important in Zanskari culture. Everything matters. In our culture we're always rushing to the next thing. We don't really live life, and we often don't really live death either, right? As soon as a family member dies, the focus is on sending out announcements and invitations, on caterers and whatever else we need to do. It’s not on grieving, not with the spirit and consciousness of the loved one. Most cultures do have traditions around this, but many don't put them into practice, even if they go through the ritual. The Zanskari people really live this.” Amy Edelstein https://lnkd.in/dAypYh_V #3rdspace #buddhadharma #podcast #community #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

“Buddhism is not a religion the Zanskaris follow. It's an understanding and an orientation to life that guides their reactions.” Amy Edelstein https://lnkd.in/dAypYh_V #3rdspace #buddhadharma #podcast #community #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

“The Zanskaris really gave me faith in humanity. They gave me the real-life experience that people can live together in harmony. They're not special, but they live according to precepts and have done so for generations. This creates a light-hearted, loving and fulfilling environment. That has stayed with me.” Amy Edelstein https://lnkd.in/dAypYh_V #3rdspace #buddhadharma #podcast #community #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

“Pilgrimage on foot is an act of reverence and surrender, a time where one is devoted to the journey itself. There’s a sense that every step you're taking is part of your quest for deeper illumination. It builds a kind of spiritual or meditative rhythm.” Amy Edelstein https://lnkd.in/dAypYh_V #3rdspace #buddhadharma #podcast #community #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

"Recognising the connection between spirit and our lives gave me a deep sense of purpose. When the intentional community you and I were part of collapsed, I spent two years trying to understand what had happened. Then I moved to London with my partner, Steve Brett. We started hosting conversations or salons in our living room. We began attending events and meeting different people, and we found that there are a lot of people actively doing significant work in the world who are motivated by something deep within themselves. We were drawn to that, so for us ‘activism’ always had a spiritual basis." -Mary Adams https://lnkd.in/dPu6D4ZN #3rdspace #spiritualactivism #culture #perspective #nature #ideologies #exploring #newperspectives #philosophy #culturehackers

"Life is complex, containing multiple ‘truths’ simultaneously. So how do we walk that line from the centre of that truth of One, through the multiple terrains of human life that radiate from this? India has a vast body of ancient dharmic texts dedicated to this question. Yet creating a division between spiritual experience and how we perceive and relate to the world, is not uncommon amongst Western spiritual practitioners, including those with an Eastern bias."
