Citações e trechos do livro “O que ‘não' faz de você Budista”, de Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche ou Thubten Chökyi Gyamtso, é um grande mestre da linhagem Nyingma do budismo tibetano, cineasta e escritor.Nascido em 1961, em Khenpajong (leste do Butão), é o filho mais velho de Thinley Norbu.Aos sete anos, foi reconhecido por Sua Santidade Sakya Trizin como a principal encarnação de Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, o herdeiro espiritual de uma das mais influentes e admiradas encarnações de Manjushri (o Buda da Sabedoria).Até a idade de doze anos, Dzongsar estudou no Mosteiro do Palácio do Rei de Sikkim no nordeste da Índia, onde estudou com vários mestres contemporâneos influentes como Dudjom Rinpoche, Dalai Lama e Dilgo Khyentse que considera ser seu principal mestre. Ainda adolescente, Dzongsar construiu um pequeno centro de retiro em Ghezing em Sikkim e logo começou a viajar e ensinar pelo mundo.Em 1989, Dzongsar fundou a Siddhartha's Intent, uma associação budista internacional de centros sem fins lucrativos, a maioria das quais são sociedades e instituições de caridade, com a intenção principal de preservar os ensinamentos budistas, bem como aumentar a conscientização e a compreensão dos muitos aspectos do ensinamento budista além dos limites das culturas e tradições.Como cineasta, Dzongsar estudou com o italiano Bernardo Bertolucci; e seus dois filmes principais são “A Copa” (1999) e “Traveller e Magicians” (2003).Dzongsar Rinpoche é famoso pela liberdade descontraída com que se move entre culturas e povos e por sua dedicação incansável em trazer a filosofia e o caminho da iluminação para qualquer pessoa com um coração aberto.

Everyone loves coincidences. During my month in Estonia, I bumbled into Krisli Melesk, who bumbled into Eric Gilbertson on K2. Eric & I were scheduled to record a podcast a few days after I met Krisli, so I invited her to join the show as a surprise guest!  Eric Gilbertson is in the process of climbing to the highest point in every country. He's done 143 out of 193! This is first of a two-part series, featuring Eric & Krisli. Subscribe to get next week's episode where we will discuss Eric kite surfing across Greenland! You must listen to my first two interviews with Eric Gilbertson! Krisli Melesk is also remarkable. She deserves her own episode and book! Her list of adventures is long and mind-blowing. We only delved into a couple of her countless adventures in this episode. In this episode, we focus on K2 and Everest, especially their joint experience on K2. Although they didn't climb K2 on the same team, they met on K2 and summitted a few days apart. We end the show by talking about Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain, with an elevation of 28,169 feet (8,586 metres). It is situated in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Sikkim state, northeastern India, and eastern Nepal, 46 miles (74 km) north-northwest of Darjiling, Sikkim. We discuss why Eric was able to summit Kanchenjunga and Krisli was not. Note: In the show, I refer to Krisli as "Kris," but the automatic subtitle generator on the video transcribed her name as "Chris." Also, I apologize for the mediocre audio quality.

"Most people seem to think that if they cut 10 trees and then plant 100 trees they have atoned for their sins but ecologically that doesn't make sense. The best thing to do is to protect what we already have. There is a pushback from nature and we are all seeing the effects. When you cut old growth trees, it is going to be that much tougher to deal with climate change because these trees store enormous quantities of carbon. Even if you planted 100 other trees, by the time those grow, where will we be? The oldest tree in the world is more than 5000 years old and the oldest tree in India is about 2031 years old. Trees grow continuously until they die. They are a lesson to all of us -- that we need to keep ourselves intellectually and physically fit until we die or we will become obsolete and irrelevant. I want this book to make people relate to trees in a much bigger way than before. Western countries have their champion/heritage/iconic tree registers and there is a lot of public participation in updating them. We too must make our own tree registers at the village, district, state and finally, the national level. We must have a heritage tree register of India that's updated from time to time" – S Natesh, author, 'Iconic Trees of India' talks to Manjula Narayan about the country's many old and wonderful trees with their own fantastic history including the mother tree of the Dussehri mango in UP, the sacred rayan tree of Ranakpur, the coronation cypress of Norbugang in Sikkim, and the Mahabodhi tree in Bodhgaya under which Buddha attained enlightenment, among others.

In October, the Teesta III dam in Northeast India was destroyed when torrential rains caused an upstream glacial lake to overflow and burst. Indigenous activists in the region have protested against the Teesta III and other major hydropower projects for decades, warning of the catastrophic impacts that dams, railway tunnels, and industry activities have on the fragile and sacred ecosystem that is especially prone to seismic activity, landslides, and climate change-related events.  On this episode of Terra Verde, Mayalmit Lepcha and Minket Lepcha join host Fiona McLeod, to discuss how they have worked to protect their ancestral homelands in Sikkim and Darjeeling, and to advocate for indigenous communities most impacted by disasters like the Teesta III dam break. They share important insights about how the tragedy in Northeast India offers important lessons that decision-makers, community members, and individuals around the world can learn from.  To learn more about Minket Lepcha and her film, Voices of Teesta, click here: https://talkingrivers.org/minket-lepcha.

The 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be held from April 19 in seven phases across the country. In Bihar, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh, voting will take place in all the seven phases. Assembly elections will also be held simultaneously in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. The last phase of voting will be on June 1 and counting will take place on June 4. This parliamentary election will be the second longest polling exercise in India's electoral history. The longest one was the country's first general election, which was held over a five-month period from September 1951 to February 1952. But the 2004 Lok Sabha polls, for instance, were held in four phases – between April 20 and May 10 – they were over in 20 days. The 1998 elections took place in just three phases – on February 16, 22nd and 28th – over two weeks. So what has changed between 1998 or 2004, and 2024 -- that we seem to have become so much slower? Why does India need seven phases and one-and-a-half months to hold general elections? How do other big democracies like Indonesia manage it in one day? And what are the pros and cons of having a multi-phase election? To discuss, we are joined by MG Devasahayam, a former IAS officer who is also Coordinator, Citizens Commission on Elections.

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Michaela Gaffen Stone. I'm a Human Behavior Expert and truly have earned the title! Born in England, I am a lifelong learner and nomad. Having lived in eight countries to date, I consider myself to be a Global citizen – where I come from is a story, not a place. Home is wherever I am, right now. I took my expertise in tropical diseases nursing from London, UK, to Bangladesh to volunteer in an orphanage, later singlehandedly running a High Commission's medical clinic and caring for upwards of 300 people. I became a Montessori assistant teacher in Belgium. I studied Buddhism and mindfulness with monks in Singapore. My quest for more took me from Bhutan, India, Ladakh, and Sikkim, to Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. I studied fitness and nutrition in Malaysia while owning and managing my own gym. I took my love for learning to college in the USA, becoming a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. The science of behavior change ignited in me a deeper understanding of human potential. Diving into Doctoral studies fueled my desire to share my extensive knowledge of human behavior with people open to receiving all that I have to offer. Being ready for change is indispensable. I am an expert at letting go of old identities and embracing the new, like a snake shedding its skin. It's essential. Today I facilitate the shedding of ‘old skins', enabling others to let go of old identities that no longer serve them while embracing and creating the new. Human Design plus Polyvagal Theory and IFS are blended with the science of behavior change and other modalities to form a solid platform for this work. Human Design came into my world at a crucial moment, proving to be a game changer. I learned what worked for me and what didn't in a powerful way that I could feel and experience for myself. Understanding how I am designed to optimally function in the world is priceless knowledge. In this episode we discuss human design, parenting, coaching, and mindset vs identity.   Website - https://www.gaffenstone.com/ IG - http://www.instagram.com/mikkigaffenstone FB - https://www.facebook.com/gaffenstone LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/gaffen-stone/   In this episode you will learn: 1. Why blame is so toxic. 2. The importance of our identity vs mindset. 3. What the differences are between human design, the enneagram and myers-briggs and how human design can help you.   "That whole thing of when you're doing something that's a hell no, and you feel like you're smacking your head on a wall every day when you get up and have to go to work. That is a very clear signal, very loud. Signal, you are not doing the right thing for you." - 00:07:01 "One of the things that I particularly love when I do the human design part of things is that look on somebody's face when they say, are you kidding me? That thing that I was always told I did too much of, or I did too little of, you're telling me that's a gift?."- 00:27:27 "Let go of blame, whenever it comes up, look at why, take your power back, take the action you need to take, don't be afraid to make mistakes, learn from them, because that's where the gold is." - 00:49:27   THE WORLD needs to hear your message and your story. Don't deny the world of that gift within you that the universe has gave to you. Someone out there needs to hear your story because it will support them in feeling hope, inspired and even transformed.

Signal, you are not doing the right thing for you." - 00:07:01 "One of the things that I particularly love when I do the human design part of things is that look on somebody's face when they say, are you kidding me? That thing that I was always told I did too much of, or I did too little of, you're telling me that's a gift?."- 00:27:27 "Let go of blame, whenever it comes up, look at why, take your power back, take the action you need to take, don't be afraid to make mistakes, learn from them, because that's where the gold is." - 00:49:27   THE WORLD needs to hear your message and your story.

Food Journeys: Stories from the Heart (Zubaan Books, 2023) is a powerful collection that draws on personal experiences, and the meaning of grief, rage, solidarity, and life. Feminist anthropologist Dolly Kikon and peace researcher Joel Rodrigues present a wide-ranging set of stories and essays accompanied by recipes. They bring together poets, activists, artists, writers, and researchers who explore how food and eating allow us to find joy and strength while navigating a violent history of militarization in Northeast India.  Food Journeys takes us to the tea plantations of Assam, the lofty mountains of Sikkim, the homes of a brewer and a baker in Nagaland, a chef's journey from Meghalaya, a trip to the paddy fields in Bangladesh, and many more sites, to reveal why people from Northeast India intimately care about what they eat and consider food an integral part of their history, politics, and community. Deliciously feminist and bold, Food Journeys  is both an invitation and a challenge to recognize gender and lived experiences as critical aspects of political life. Dolly Kikon is an anthropologist whose work focuses on the political economy of extractive resources, militarisation, migration, indigeneity, food cultures and human rights in India. She is the author of Life and Dignity: Women's Testimonies of Sexual Violence in Dimapur (Nagaland) (2015); Living with Oil and Coal: Resource Politics and Militarisation in Northeast India (2019); Leaving the Land: Indigenous Migration and Affective Labour in India (2019); Ceasefire City: Militarism, Capitalism, and Urbanism in Dimapur (2021); and Seeds and Food Sovereignty: Eastern Himalayan Experiences (2023). Joel Rodrigues is the author of Seeds and Food Sovereignty: Eastern Himalayan Experiences (2023). Joel is a doctoral researcher at the Department of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University. His writings have been featured in Gastronomica, Morung Express, and ‘Raiot.in'. He has a bachelor's degree in mass media, and a master's in peace and conflict studies. His peace research work engages with law, violence, memory, food, and media. Born in Mumbai, Joel has lived in Northeast India for a decade now Rituparna Patgiri has a PhD in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Her research interests lie in the areas of food, media, gender and public. She is also one of the co-founders of Doing Sociology. Patgiri can be reached at @Rituparna37 on Twitter.

For much of the past three months, the northeastern Indian state of Manipur—nestled right up against the border with Myanmar—has been the site of a conflict between two groups: the majority Meiteis and the minority Kukis. The fighting–with scenes of brutal violence, looting of police stations, and burnt places of worship–even sparked a motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The region of northeast India has long posed a challenge for its leaders, both local and national. Geographically isolated from the rest of India due to partition and the awkward placement of what eventually becomes Bangladesh, the region soon features countless ethnic groups demanding authority and autonomy in the newly independent India—at times, through violent resistance—and a heavy-handed national administration quite willing to impose martial law to get things under control. Journalist Samrat Choudhury writes about this region in his latest book, Northeast India: A Political History (Oxford UP, 2023). Samrat talks about the region's eight states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, and Sikkim, and their experience under first the British, and then newly-independent India. Samrat is a journalist and former newspaper editor who has written for major papers and magazines in Britain, the US, Asia and Europe. He has edited anthologies, contributed to academic publications, and authored books including novel The Urban Jungle (Penguin Books India: 2011) and travelog The Braided River: A Journey Along the Brahmaputra (HarperCollins: 2021). Today, Samrat and I talk about this region's sometimes messy history, its experience with insurgencies and the tough government reaction, and touch briefly on what's happening in Manipur today. You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of Northeast India. Follow on Twitter at @BookReviewsAsia.

Last week, Earth hit record-high temperatures—three times. We're feeling the heat of climate change, literally, and it's f*cking scary. To help us handle this moment, we're re-releasing an episode from our archives, with Dekila Chungyalpa. She joins Jonathan to discuss how she confronts climate change disinterest and skepticism, and why she's bringing the sacred back into science. Dekila Chungyalpa is the founder and director of the Loka Initiative, a capacity building and outreach platform at the University of Wisconsin – Madison for faith leaders and culture keepers of Indigenous traditions who work on environmental and climate issues. She received the prestigious Yale McCluskey Award in 2014 for her work and moved to the Yale School of Environmental Studies as an associate research scientist, where she researched, lectured and designed the prototype for what is now the Loka Initiative. Dekila is originally from the Himalayan state of Sikkim in India and is of Bhutia origin. You can keep up with Dekila by visiting her Facebook and by following her on Twitter and Instagram @dchungyalpa. For more information about the Loka Initiative, visit their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter @LokaInitiative and on Instagram @loka.initiative. Struggling with eco-anxiety?

In 2015, Senator Jim Inhofe brought a snowball to Congress to “prove” that climate change wasn't real. Only God, he claimed, could change the climate. He was wrong on two fronts: one, climate change is real. And two, faith and climate science are *not* incompatible. This week, Dekila Chungyalpa joins Jonathan to discuss her work collaborating with faith leaders on climate efforts, how she confronts climate change disinterest and skepticism, and why she's bringing the sacred back into science.  Dekila Chungyalpa is the founder and director of the Loka Initiative, a capacity building and outreach platform at the University of Wisconsin – Madison for faith leaders and culture keepers of Indigenous traditions who work on environmental and climate issues. She received the prestigious Yale McCluskey Award in 2014 for her work and moved to the Yale School of Environmental Studies as an associate research scientist, where she researched, lectured and designed the prototype for what is now the Loka Initiative. Dekila is originally from the Himalayan state of Sikkim in India and is of Bhutia origin.You can keep up with Dekila by visiting her Facebook and by following her on Twitter and Instagram @dchungyalpa. For more information about the Loka Initiative, visit their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter @LokaInitiative and on Instagram @loka.initiative. Struggling with eco-anxiety?

What comes to mind when you think of the Himalaya? For Jonathan, it's a whole lot of questions! This week's guest Dr. Mona Chettri gives us a glimpse at life in the eastern Himalaya, including how political borders have shaped the region; what's changing amidst rapid development; and what the future might hold for young residents. Mona Chettri is a Post-Doctoral Research fellow at the Australia-India Institute, University of Western Australia. She has worked extensively on urbanisation, ethnicity, environmental politics and development in the eastern Himalayan borderlands of Sikkim, Darjeeling and east Nepal. She is the author of Constructing Democracy: Ethnicity and Democracy in the eastern Himalaya (Amsterdam University Press, 2017) and co-editor of Development Zones in Asian Borderlands (Amsterdam University Press, 2021). Her current research focuses on the intersections between gender, labour, urbanisation and infrastructure in the Sikkim-Darjeeling Himalaya, India and Himalayan immigrant labour in Australia.  You can follow Dr. Chettri on Instagram @monagtk, on Twitter at @mona_chettri, and on Facebook at mona.gtk. For more information on the eastern Himalaya, check out The Confluence Collective and Sikkim Project. Join the conversation, and find out what former guests are up to, by following us on Instagram and Twitter @CuriousWithJVN. Transcripts for each episode are available at JonathanVanNess.com. Love listening to Getting Curious?
