Episode 103: Building a Dharma Successor
Shinzen Young, professional meditation
instructor and geek-extraordinaire, continues his discussion with us on
the unique approach he has taken to combining the best of the
scientific approach with the best of the contemplative modalities of
the East. The result of this combination appears to be a delivery
system for enlightenment that uses an interactive and algorithmic
approach to guiding a student in their practice. In short, instead of
appointing a human dharma successor, he is trying to build one.
Listen
in to find out more about this artificial intelligence system, which he
refers to as "virtual Shinzen," and how it might revolutionize the way
that dharma teaching is done!
This is part 2 of a 3-part series. Listen to part 1, Shinzen Young: The Hybrid Teacher & part 3, Enlightenment for the Rest of Us.
