What a joy to begin the new year with a community gathering and dive into a fascinating conversation on the topic:
Dharma and management in the business world — can the two truly coexist?

The session introduced Buddhist perspectives and concepts, alongside insights from years of experience implementing them in managerial and business contexts. An open and deep dialogue emerged around the possibility — and the challenge — of integrating these two worlds, which may seem far apart but can, in fact, nourish one another.

Meaningful points were raised about creating change and impact through “your own small patch of ground,” the importance of recognizing early on whether an organizational culture is right for you, and the ability to consciously choose where and how to act.

The gathering concluded on an optimistic and inspiring note, with a shared understanding that the business world is evolving — and that younger generations are bringing a different spirit, new values, and a genuine movement for change.

A heartfelt thank you to all the community members who made the journey and joined us, despite the flooding, protests, and many disruptions.
