Redefining the
Definitions
What is Tân?
A way of seeing with new eyes.
Open, unbounded, and free from assumptions.
An invitation to revisit the familiar.
What is Định?
The definitions we rarely question.
Beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world – quietly shaping how we think and live.

TEDxTanDinh #01
Our first event opens a space to revisit what we think we already understand.
Redefining what we once accepted as given,
we explore new ways of seeing –
untangling assumptions shaped by the past,
deepening our experience of the present,
and opening new possibilities for the future.

The Tan Dinh Philosophy
Redefining the ideas we take for granted
Many of the definitions shaping our lives: success, learning, productivity, even happiness,… are rarely questioned.
TEDxTanDinh invites us to revisit these familiar beliefs with fresh perspectives, opening space for deeper understanding and new possibilities.
Hello, future thinker!
Today might be the day you begin to question the definitions you’ve always accepted.
No matter who you are or what you do, your ideas matter.
Voices of the Tan Dinh Spirit
Short reflections from thinkers, creators, and community voices.
Yuval Noah Harari
Many of the systems shaping modern society, nations, money, and institutions exist because people collectively believe in them. By questioning these shared assumptions, we gain the freedom to rethink how humanity might evolve.
Thich Thanh Tu
Meditation is not about escaping the world, but seeing clearly into the nature of the mind. Through awareness and mindfulness, we rediscover simplicity, clarity, and balance in everyday life.
Sam Altman
Artificial intelligence challenges how we define knowledge, creativity, and human work.
The future may depend not on competing with technology, but on learning how humans and AI can grow together.
