Скачать "Being the Change We Want to See in the World: A Conversation with Christiana Figueres | Episode #21"

In this episode, the presenters, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino, are joined by special guest Christiana Figueres – one of the architects of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, student of Thich Nhat Hanh, and valued member of the Plum Village Sangha. Ms. Figueres is an internationally recognized leader on global climate change. She was Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) from 2010 to 2016. Today she is the co-founder of Global Optimism, co-host of the podcast “Outrage & Optimism” and co-author of the "The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis" book. She is a member of the B Team, non executive Board member of Acciona, and non executive Board member of Impossible Foods. Read more about her many achievements here. In light of Thich Nhat Hanh’s passing earlier this year, the discussion includes collective leadership; guidance; spiritual awakening and nourishing our spiritual dimension; dependent co-arising; saving lives through teachings; and being a community without Thay, and what it means to continue and represent his legacy. The participants also reflect on the impact on their lives of Thay’s passing, and ways to continue their teacher in a world that is in crisis and in great need for a spiritual dimension. And what next for the Sangha? Christiana Figueres shares deeply about what brought her to Plum Village, both now and years ago, during her first encounter with Applied Buddhism; her journey to spiritual practice, to overcome a personal crisis; the historical context of making contact with Thich Nhat Hanh; and the transformative power of Buddhist teachings – such as the art of deep listening – on the negotiation process during the Paris Climate Change Conference. Additionally, she addresses the Global North-South divide; victimhood; and strengthening the arc between the inner and outer worlds. Jo shares what it means to be a “serious” practitioner; being spacious; “coming home”; and befriending our past. Brother Phap Huu talks about Christiana’s importance to the Plum Village community, and the significance of her presence during the week of ceremonies after Thay’s passing; the four-fold sangha; channelling Thay as a collective community; interbeing in action; practising the art of community; and transmission. The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu to bring us back to the present moment. ------ 🎧 Listen to previous episodes on YouTube ➛ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHB1Zqu9mBt9HNGw87amjLZM2OTHV01uh ------- 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------- The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://www.globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ ------- 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the FREE Plum Village App ➛ https://web.plumvillage.app/talks/the-way-out-is-in and other streaming services. ------- Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org/ 🎙️ Thich Nhat Hanh ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh 🎙️ Christiana Figueres ➛ http://christianafigueres.com/#/ 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/br-phap-huu 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛ https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser ‘Christiana Figueres Cites Thich Nhat Hanh’s Influence in Paris Climate Talks’ ➛ https://www.lionsroar.com/christiana-figueres-cites-thich-nhat-hanhs-influence-in-paris-climate-talks/ Waldbröl ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldbr%C3%B6l The Paris Agreement ➛ https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement/the-paris-agreement Global North and Global South ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_North_and_Global_South Dharma Talks: ‘The Noble Eightfold Path’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/the-noble-eightfold-path ‘Photos from Thay’s Memorial Ceremonies’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/articles/photos-from-thays-memorial-ceremonies Christian Science ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science European Institute of Applied Buddhism (EIAB) ➛ https://www.eiab.eu/index.php?index=90 The Way Out Is In: ‘The Three Doors of Liberation’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/podcast/the-three-doors-of-liberation-episode-18 Help us caption and translate this video: https://web.plumvillage.app/subs?yt=LgJ24gqgmDE
