Hey there! I’m Tian Yang, a thinker and writer who loves diving deep into the big questions about money, technology, and spirituality. You can find me sharing my thoughts over at tianyangpoh.com, where I tackle everything from the evolution of money from ancient barter systems to today’s digital blockchain technologies, as well as exploring the rich traditions of Buddhism.
I’m all about understanding not just the how but the why behind money—seeing it not just as a tool for transactions but as a cultural artifact that shapes how we interact and see the world. In my latest series, “From Barter to Blockchain,” I get into how economic exchanges have transformed and what that means for us on a global scale, mixing in a bit of philosophy and ethics to spice things up.
At the same time, I’m fascinated by Buddhism’s diverse schools—Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana—and love breaking down their complex teachings for modern seekers. From the roles of monastic communities to the nitty-gritty of meditation and philosophical debates about the nature of reality, I delve into how these ancient wisdoms can guide us today.
Whether you’re into the spiritual, the economic, or just looking for a fresh perspective on life’s big puzzles, I’m here to share insights and stir up some thought-provoking discussions. So, why not drop by and see where these journeys can take us?
Join me at tianyangpoh.com as we delve into these discussions, fostering a deeper appreciation of the principles that govern our actions and shape our collective future.
