Buddhist ethics and responsible corporate governance can go hand-in-hand in today's Western society, and can enlighten one's own spiritual values. The ancient wisdom of the Buddha suggests a close and deep relationship between wealth and the well-being of society. How business profit contributes to the betterment of the community and society is the issue. And the issue is about intention, not about philanthropy. Shareholders, Boards and organizational leaders have, in Buddhist thinking, a responsibility to create an ethically-based and holistic environment within their organization and community. Our presentation and conversation tonight will be about the possibilities, given our present economic environment, to create workplaces and communities where social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual needs of individuals are met. We'll talk about how all the organization's constituents can go beyond purely competitive relationships and economic equations.
