India: System & Omnicentric Minds

Peter Sange:

"My intuition is that India and China will move somewhat together but in very distinctive ways. But I think the thing that will be really common to both of them will be the fact that they won’t be able to do this without reconnecting to their heritage. They will have to develop a confidence that they can do this as Indians and they can do this as Chinese. They have learnt a lot from the West but they don’t have to copy, they cannot create a Chinese or Indian version of a Western model. 
 
The Western model itself is basically bankrupt. It does not give enough attention to the human side of development. It’s really very weak. Because thousands of years ago, the real significant development wasn’t in the west. The church was even fragmented by saints. There’s just not a lot to build on. Of course the last hundred and fifty years, the industrial consumer oriented development has made things very much worse."

based in Los Angeles, a Japanese Buddhist monk & Chinese scholar. He has a brand new translation of the Tao and most of his work is about Business. He said his critical moment of awakening was when he was on a 2-3 year study in India, he said he just had this powerful realization, that individual enlightenment would not relieve the suffering of human being today, what is really needed is collective enlightenment. Wisdom Traditions have been in Monologue. All Paradigms and Assumptions have to give up Monological and become TransParadigmatic & Dialogical. This is what he calls Omnicentric Mind.
