4 Nov 2026 Published Convergence 0, Week 4 "Discipline", Week 5 "Rest" and Week 6 "Service", in Vietnamese and English.

Week 2 awaits Peter's decision on a request by the translator Sujato (see Sources and licences) Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Replaced Bhikkhu Sujato's Buddhist translations with Thanissaro Bhikkhu's (Access to Insight, CC BY-NC 4.0) in Convergence 0 – Week 1 (MN 10) and Week 2 (AN 2.119); both pages are now CC BY-NC 4.0. Published Week 2 "Gratitude" in Vietnamese and English; the course now has all 6 weeks. Removed the specific Davis 2016 figures from Week 2 and the Evidence page, keeping only the general size of the effect Sujato's translations are CC0, but the translator asks that they not be used with AI technologies; tamhonkhoe's lessons are written with AI help, so the project owner chose to respect that request. Peter confirmed the Thanissaro licence. The Davis 2016 figures could not yet be checked against the original Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Published Convergence 1 "An open heart", all 6 weeks, from Week 7 "Loving-kindness" to Week 12 "Giving and review", in Vietnamese and English. Bhikkhu Sujato's Buddhist translations (CC0) are used again for Snp 1.8 and Dhp 5, 223–224 and 277; Convergence 0 still uses Thanissaro's. Added sources The Imitation of Christ (Benham) and the Upanishads (Paramananda) Peter asked for the course to be written and published, by decision of the project owner; each lesson says clearly that no reviewer from a tradition has checked it yet. The project owner reconsidered the Sujato question: the translations are CC0, so their use is lawful; the translator requests (without legal force) that they not be used with AI technology, and tamhonkhoe lessons are drafted with AI help; the project owner judges that use by a free, community-serving project is reasonable. Peter confirmed the licences of four new sources (Sujato – Suttanipāta, Sujato – Dhammapada, Benham, Paramananda) Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Published the course Stoicism 2 "Epictetus’ three disciplines", all 8 weeks, from Week 1 "What belongs to us" to Week 8 "Review", in Vietnamese and English.

Only sources with confirmed licences are used (Epictetus and Meditations – George Long; Seneca – Gummere); the English text was checked word for word against the sources by script Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Stoicism 2 – Week 5 "Practising mild hardship" (VI + EN): added one sentence under Reading it in context, explaining Seneca’s "plain fare" as simple living, eating simple food while still eating enough, not eating less; the exercise still has no food component Peter asked to keep Seneca’s point visible to readers; food practice belongs to the Body courses Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Published the course Stoicism 3 "Change and death in Stoicism", all 6 weeks, from Week 1 "Old age and each day" to Week 6 "Review", in Vietnamese and English. The course does not quote the passages where the Stoic writers discuss leaving life by one’s own choice; each lesson opens with a note for people who are newly bereaved, seriously ill or having thoughts of dying, with a link to Get help now. The kids’ corner is only about change in nature. Added 4 studies to the framework (Pinquart & Forstmeier 2012, Burke et al. 2010, Klein et al. 2022, Lundorff et al. 2017) Level 3 courses fall under "drafted internally first"; Peter was reminded of this rule and decided to publish directly on the project owner’s review. Only sources with confirmed licences are used (Seneca – Gummere’s translation; Meditations – George Long’s translation); the English passages were checked word for word against the source by script Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Published the course Stoicism 4 "Stoicism at home and at work", all 6 weeks, from Week 1 "Rising to do human work" to Week 6 "Review", in Vietnamese and English. The course says clearly where it does not follow the texts (working without eating or sleeping; the treatment of slaves in Roman times; submitting to a father who strikes you), and no exercise is meant for situations involving violence, threats or harassment. Added 1 study to the framework (Kjærvik & Bushman 2024) Level 4 Stoicism courses are reviewed by the project owner; Peter asked for the course to be written and published. Only sources with confirmed licences are used (Meditations and Encheiridion – George Long’s translation; Letter 47 – Gummere’s translation; On Anger – Aubrey Stewart’s translation); the English passages were checked word for word against the source by script Project owner
4 Nov 2026 Stoicism 4 – Week 5 "The circles of concern" (VI + EN): replaced the summary of Hierocles’ circles with two passages from Thomas Taylor’s translation (1822); the Vietnamese is tamhonkhoe’s translation. Added the source hierocles-taylor Peter approved Taylor’s translation (Gutenberg #75184, public domain; the translator died in 1835). A sourced quotation replaces a summary based on secondary material; the English text was checked word for word against the source by script Project owner
