/firstdraft is becoming my public notepad! here are a series of recurring thoughts this weekend, stemming from meeting a bunch of IRL friends i haven't seen in a while and trying to condense all that i've been up to in the past few years into a few sentences. i've also pondered about how to explain what i've been up to for my spiritual community, chaplaincy teachers, practitioner friends, and the like. - embedded chaplaincy as a content creator in a past piece titled "why am i pursuing buddhist chaplaincy," I wrote: The traditional definition of a chaplain is: a minister who cares for people in crisis who are displaced from their preferred place of living. This can range from people suffering from illness (hospital), death (hospice), incarceration (prisons). It’s like being an ER doctor for spiritual care, composed of Judeo-Christian traditions. https://christinchong.com/writing/why-am-i-pursuing-buddhist-chaplaincy

The modern definition of a chaplain broadens the traditional definition: it now encompasses those who are experiencing a mental displacement, people in existential crisis. *Waves hands all around.* It’s like being a primary care doctor, taking care of spiritual health within the context of everyday life. - In the past few years, I've refined my approach further: how can I bring spiritual support embedded within the pursuit of livelihood, creativity, and online communities? that is my hope, using this lifetime as the experimental subject, and supporting friends who are doing the same. i want to meet people where they are at, in the age of hijacked attention. while i have the privilege to have encountered supportive spiritual communities, i don't think they are easily accessible for many, often depending on one's living circumstances. furthermore, technofeudalism fueled by hypercapitalism are taking over our attention and minds, as they did of capital and land in years past (and still pervades now.)

I'm surprised about the Christian references. But it's so interesting, mainly because at least i was taught Buddhism/christianism are very different, at least catholicism is. How can you balance the divine vision of Buddha with the God that causes fear from the other side?

Really thoughtful piece. I love the concept of embedded chaplaincy as a content creator it feels like a natural evolution of spiritual care in today’s digital world.
