Ken and language

[Guest guest]

Stephen,

 

Glad to. And lest you get the impression

that I'm a devotee of non-action, I'm

developing television programming here

in Beijing on various themes realted to

traditional Chinese medicine and working

with a UN organizationto set up an international training center

that will incorporate a substantial component

dedicated to language and transmission

issues. The forum we set up at Paradigm

was essentially intended to present and

discuss words and phrases. There's currently

a piece there on the meaning of de qi,

which will have to serve as this week's

phrase of the week, as I'm up to my eyeballs

at the TV station here helping with the

coverage of the war in Iraq.

 

Yesterday I gave a lecture to a group of

American acupuncturists at the Beijing Tibetan

Medical Hospital and we talked about...guess

what?

 

My language mantra, as you call it. And

thanks for the offer of the qi gong.

 

An answer to my question would be nice,

too.
