"I’m so surprised and honoured."

2024 literature laureate Han Kang had just finished dinner with her son at her home in Seoul when she received the news of her #NobelPrize. We spoke to her – moments after she found out about the prize – about growing up with books, being the first South Korean literature laureate and what book she recommends those new to her works should begin with.

Han Kang also tells how she plans to celebrate her Nobel Prize: "I’d like to have tea with my son. I’ll celebrate it quietly."

한 강 Han Kang – awarded the 2024 #NobelPrize in Literature – was born in 1970 in the South Korean city of Gwangju before, at the age of nine, moving with her family to Seoul. She comes from a literary background, her father being a reputed novelist. Alongside her writing, she has also devoted herself to art and music, which is reflected throughout her entire literary production.

The core of buddhism is compassion. The most influential Bodhisattva in buddhism is avalokiteshwara who embodies compassion of all Buddhas. Compassion is what human fundamentally needs.

Trikaya: Three Bodies of a Buddha

The Trikaya doctrine in Mahayana Buddhism explains how a Buddha can exist in multiple realms at once, guiding sentient beings according to their abilities & level of understanding.

Essentially, the Trikaya doctrine describes a Buddha’s presence in three "bodies": the Dharmakaya (Truth Body), the Sambhogakaya (Bliss or Reward Body), and the Nirmanakaya (Manifestation Body).

The Dharmakaya represents a Buddha’s ultimate, formless reality - an eternal truth that is beyond our normal comprehension. This is like the Sky: vast, boundless, and always present, but not something we can grasp or hold.

The Sambhogakaya is the body in which Buddhas enjoy the fruits of their enlightenment and share their teachings with advanced beings in heavenly realms.

Lastly, the Nirmanakaya is the form in which a Buddha appears in our world, like Shakyamuni Buddha who walked the Earth, teaching humans.

Trikaya explains how Buddhas guide beings on multiple levels simultaneously - beginners, advanced students, and everyone in between - all at the same time, but using different methods. In the same way, the Trikaya doctrine explains how the Buddha works across realms, using different “bodies” to reach beings at all stages of their spiritual journey.

Some of the major Mahayana sutras, were transmitted through the Sambhogakaya. Sutras like the Lotus Sutra are said to have been delivered by Buddhas in higher, more subtle realms, making them accessible only to those advanced in their practice.

From the perspective of Shakyamuni Buddha, while He appeared in our world as the Nirmanakaya, His teachings were always connected to deeper, cosmic truths available in the Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya.

In summary, the Trikaya doctrine is an optimistic reminder that no matter where we are on our path, Buddhas are there - guiding us in ways we can understand and appreciate. 🙏🙏

Guarding the Mind: Lessons from the Uddhata Sutta ☸️

According to the Uddhata Sutta, once Shakyamuni Buddha observed a group of monks who were anything but focused. They were restless, distracted, and essentially, leaving their Mind unprotected. Seeing this, The Buddha shared this teaching that without guarding our Mind, we easily fall under the sway of negative forces, like Mara the Evil One, which in Buddhism represents the embodiment of temptation and distraction.

Shakyamuni Buddha’s message in Uddhata sutta is: if we allow our Mind to wander aimlessly, becoming muddled with wrong views and laziness, we set ourselves up for failure.

It’s like leaving your house with the door wide open - anything can come in and cause harm. In contrast, a protected mind, one that is diligent and anchored in right view and resolve, is like a fortress. It’s strong, resilient, and can withstand the challenges that life throws our way.

In a world filled with distractions - social media, endless notifications, the constant pull of our responsibilities - it’s easy to let our Mind scatter. But as The Buddha points out, this scattered state is exactly what leads us astray, making us vulnerable to negativity and suffering.

By keeping our Mind focused, practicing mindfulness, and cultivating right view, we can conquer these distractions and lead more peaceful, purposeful lives. It’s a call to be vigilant, to treat our Mind with the care and attention it deserves, knowing that this effort leads us away from suffering and toward true liberation.

In essence, Shakyamuni Buddha is reminding us that the path to peace and freedom isn’t found in external things but in the state of our own Mind. When we protect and train our Mind, we protect our entire being from the pitfalls of life. 🙏🙏

马斯克带着脑机接口公司Neuralink的核心团队，以及植入人脑芯片的第一个受试者，参加了MIT科学家Lex Fridman的播客，一聊就是8个多小时，是的，你没看错，全程8个小时的对谈，信息密度极高……

可以看得出来，马斯克很欣赏Lex Fridman，这是他第5次做客Lex Fridman的节目，聊得也很松弛，不仅限于脑机接口这个主题，我刷完整个接近10万字的文本，摘了一些重点给你们看看：

- 脑机接口的人类受试者缺口依然很大，因为监管批准速度有限，马斯克希望今年可以实现10个受试者的目标，目前只有2个人接入了Neuralink的芯片，未来芯片上的电极数量会越来越多，并达到1Mb/s的传输速度，超过人类打字或是说话的带宽。

- 通过神经链接交谈的人类，将有机会颠覆现有语言的表达效率，就像人们听这期播客，可能都会用1.5倍速甚至2倍速，因为1倍速太慢了，信息消费的效率远高于信息创造，这是低带宽社会的缺点，但是如果我们可以不通过口舌，而是直接在大脑之间进行桥接，那么信息就可以像rar文件那样交换，得到无损压缩的过程。

- 因此，Neuralink的长期愿景就是扩增人类的通信带宽，并推动人工智能和人类共生，如果人工智能以1Mb/s的速率说话，而人类只能以1bit/s的速度回应，这幅场景就像是对着一棵树讲话那样荒诞，我们需要在生物性上也让人类跟上人工智能的步伐。

- 人类可能是意志的附属物，大脑皮层的存在，很大程度上是为了服务脑部结构里的边缘系统（Limbic system），比如人类追求性爱的乐趣是很频繁的，而且并不总是出于繁殖需求，他们只是重复同样的动作，然后从中取得快感。实际上我们已经获得了赛博化的增强，比如手机、电脑这些设备，甚至是Tinder，它们作为外接的第三极系统，取悦并扩大了我们的计算能力。

- xAI和Grok的使命，是理解宇宙的本质，人类终其一生也搞不清楚的课题，希望人工智能可以攻克下来。（1/n）
