Join us for a thought-provoking episode as we sit down with Kunsang Yang Yang , a pioneering voice in the integration of Buddhist philosophy and systemic family therapy. Drawing from years of personal spiritual practice, professional experience, and the teachings of his root guru, H.H. Yisie Vorle (as featured in the book Path Beyond Samsara), Yang Yang explores how Buddhist concepts like mindfulness, non-self, and wholesome aspirations can transform the way we understand and foster change within families and communities.Discover how Buddhist ideas—such as the five aggregates, relational mindfulness, and the power of mantra recitation—can broaden the systemic lens, offering new pathways for healing and connection. We'll delve into practical techniques, including the innovative narrative-mantra group model, and hear insights from clinicians who have participated in these integrative practices. Whether you're a therapist, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the intersection of Eastern wisdom and modern psychology, this episode offers fresh perspectives and actionable ideas for cultivating compassion, resilience, and meaningful change.Tune in to explore the rich dialogue between Buddhism and systemic therapy, and learn how ancient wisdom is shaping the future of mental health and relational wellbeing.As a qualified Singaporean Systemic Family Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Social Worker for over 20 years, Yang Yang has worked with children, adolescents, individual adults, couples and families in the UK and Singapore. He lived in London for 13 years before relocating back to Singapore, where he continues to offer systemic therapy as a Buddhist monk. He just completed his PhD in Buddhist studies at Thailand during this interview.

Fueled by a powerful mix of FOMO and a government drive to accelerate AI adoption, OpenClaw has exploded in popularity across China. But as these agentic systems gain sweeping access to personal data, reports of them “going rogue” are beginning to surface. On today’s Big Take Asia podcast, host K. Oanh Ha sits down with Bloomberg’s Luz Ding and Bloomberg Opinion’s Catherine Thorbecke to dig into the rapid rise of agentic AI in China, why it has taken hold so quickly and the mounting security concerns pushing users and regulators to reassess the risks.

WU XING - die Elementelehre

In diesem Podcast geht es um die Lehre „WU XING“, die Fünf Elemente. Alles, aber auch wirklich alles in den alten chinesischen Wissenschaften und Philosophien, befasst sich mit dem harmonischen Ausgleich der Kräfteverhältnisse innerhalb der fünf Elemente „MU“ das Holz, „HUO“ das Feuer, „TU“ die Erde, „YIN“ das Metall und „SHUI“ das Wasser. Den Chinesen nach, kann man mit diesen fünf Elementen alles beschreiben, was es auf der Erde gibt. Auch die Griechen dachten über die Elemente nach, aus denen die Welt wohl bestehen könnte. Die fünf Elemente sind dabei nicht als reale Substanzen zu verstehen, sondern als symbolische Bilder, als abstrakte Kräfte, die in Abhängigkeiten und Wechselwirkungen zueinander stehen und zwar: - Im Stützungs-Zyklus, wir nennen das auch Geschwister-Zyklus. Es sind die Elemente, die sich gleich sind, in YIN und YANG Form. Geschwisterelemente unterstützen sich immer gegenseitig. Wobei sich gegenpolige Elemente also YIN/YANG, schneller und intensiver verbinden, als gleichpolige z.B. YANG/YANG oder YIN/YIN. - Im Förderzyklus, wir nennen das auch Elternzyklus. Als Beispiel: Wasser fördert Holz, Holz fördert Feuer, Feuer fördert Erde, Erde fördert Metall, Metall fördert Wasser, Wasser fördert Holz usw. - Im Kontrollzyklus, wir nennen das auch Kinderzyklus. Als Beispiel: Wasser rostet Metall, Metall befördert Erde (Schaufel), Erde hält das Feuer klein, Feuer verkleinert das Holz (Brand), Holz verbraucht Wasser, Wasser rostet Metall. Im Zerstörungszyklus, wir nennen das auch Großelternzyklus. Es sind die Elemente, die sich gegenüberstehen und auf Grund ihrer Stärke das andere Element zerstören könnten. Als Beispiel: Wasser löscht Feuer, Feuer schmilzt Metall, Metall spaltet Holz, Holz laugt die Erde aus, Erde verunreinigt Wasser, Wasser löscht Feuer usw. - Im Nutzungs-Zyklus, wir nennen das auch Machtzyklus. Es sind die Elemente, die die gegenüberstehenden Elemente in YIN und YANG Form reizen oder sie nutzen können. Als Beispiel: Mit Feuer kann man Wasser zum Kochen bringen. Mit Wasser wird die Erde erst fruchtbar. In der Erde kann das Holz wachsen. Mit Holz kann man das Metall formen. Mit Metall kann man das Feuer nutzen (Herd, Ofen). Oft wird für diesen Zyklus ein drittes Element benötigt, so zu sagen als Vermittler. Diese Wechselwirkungen zeigen anschaulich, wie durch Ausgleich, Zuführung oder Abnahme eine gute Harmonie unter den Elementen geschaffen werden kann. Und oft gelingt dies auch mit einem vermittelnden dritten Element. Jedem Element sind nun auch bestimmte Eigenschaften, Formen, Richtungen und Charaktere zugeordnet, die sich in gleicher Weise harmonisieren lassen. Nur ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis der Elemente führt zur Harmonie innerhalb eines Körpers, eines Bereiches, eines Raumes, eines Hauses, eines Grundstückes oder eines Ortes. Nie gelingt aber der optimale Ausgleich. Immer wird ein oder mehrere Elemente dominieren oder einige schwächeln. Mit dem Erkennen dieser Dominanz und Schwäche kann nun auf die Kräfteverhältnisse und auf ihre entsprechenden Auswirkungen geschlossen werden.
