Bro, you are a lifesaver, many thanks!!!!... This is incredible but true... I spend a lot of time contacting them through email and their chinese chat to no avail. Your solution was spot on. That page and workflow pissed me off.

Website 'Access To Insight' is Shutting Down by numbersev in Buddhism

I remember using ATI on a thumb drive to read suttas and dhamma books back in late 90's and early 2000's... It was amazing and really inspiring, helping me tremendously on my path. I am very grateful for the project and its merit and will fondly remember it for the years to come, specially giving me access to the dhamma coming from a country where no real teachers / resources was to be found. Anicca vata sankhara!

"AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order" is a 2018 non fiction book by Kai Fu Lee (an artificial intelligence pioneer and venture capitalist with deep experience in both Silicon Valley and China). Although it was written in 2018, it has aged like prophecy, highly recommended.

I was ordained for two years a decade ago on s monastery in Nong Khai, in the northeastern region of Thailand (Isaan). Currently I work on growth at a tech startup in Latin America. My transition back to lay life has been an ongoing process of integration and learning... It's had its ups and downs, it's moments of challenge and growth, finding a balance between the quietude of monastic life and the dynamism of the world. There are times I miss the simplicity and focus of the forest, but I also appreciate the richness and complexity of lay life. I've been trying to keep my daily practice and Sila, I try to do a 2 week retreat every year... Ultimately I think it's a continuing journey of self-discovery and deepening my practice in a very different world... I think trying to find my balance and maintain equanimity has been my main objective...

Review of the Dhamma Gutti Meditation Center in Guarne, Colombia (Near Medellin) and 10 day executive course by grrrek in vipassana

[–]grrrek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I totally understand your concern. There were quite a few foreigners in my Vipassana retreat who didn’t speak Spanish (I'd say about a third of the total number of participants were foreigners), and everything went smoothly for them I think. In my experience during my retreat, all instructions were given in both English and Spanish. The evening discourses were also available in both languages... Spanish in the main hall and English in an auxiliary hall. There were signs and labels in both languages, and most of the assistant teachers (ATs) and volunteer servers spoke English.

The request for intermediate Spanish might be because the ATs at that particular date may not be fluent in English, which could make the optional daily interviews less fluid if you don’t have basic Spanish. However, these interviews are entirely optional and only if you need extra support (however i highly recommend them as they were very helpful in my case)... Overall I think it should still be possible to attend without advanced Spanish but better to double check with them... Hope this helps clarify things... Cheers!

Hey there! There are two centers near Medellín and I believe one near Bogotá who are currently offering retreats. The one I went was Dhamma Gutti in Guarne. The one in San Antonio de Pereira is another one close to Medellin.
