"If you think only of the immediate profit, then you will have to suffer consequences in the long-term. So, therefore, even if in business one's main interest is a successful company, you can still take care of your workers, and also of the customers; show them a smile - not an artificial smile, but an genuine smile - then more customers will come!
And when we are talking about motivation (for example in business), I consider the most important aspect of motivation is to
be at an sense of caring for one another, and a sense of responsibilities for big issues related to the common interest. So
that's my view how to make money properly!"
H.H. The Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, Congress "Compassion or Competition", SIB Netherlands, 24th September 2002, Amsterdam
To integrate spirituality as a practical and enthusing force in our everyday working and business life is the greatest
challenge facing modern society and culture.
In nearly 20 years of professional and managerial experience in different companies and industries, organisational consultant
and body therapist Eberhard Morawa developed a number of methods to integrate fulfilment and success into our professional and
business life.
Most of the developed methods and instruments are a result of transferring teachings and pieces of advice from the Tibetan
Buddhist philosophy, the Zen Buddhism of Japan and the Chinese philosophy.
Adaptions of the entrepreneurial experiences of American Roshi Bernard Glassmann (Greystone Foundation), the teaching method
of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan meditation teacher, and research work conducted by Harrison Owen, Peter Senge, Peter B.
Vaill, Kazimierz Godz, flow together into a new approach of organizational development.
Furthermore, Radiance Consulting seeks to integrate the latest insights of neurobiological research on stress and happiness in
everyday life and business (MBSR, Daniel Goleman, Daniel Siegel, Paul Zak) into the coaching.
Thanks to Michael Roach, an American scholar who, for 18 years, lived and studied in the Buddhist Sera Mey Monastery for
several months of the year and at the same time developed Andin International, an American diamond firm, into a company with a
turnover of $ 160 million, this "toolbox" was expanded with several new aspects.
Thus, we hope that in the not too distant future we, altogether, will be able to answer the request of His Holiness the Dalai
Lama quoted at the beginning and that this will lead to a different, creative, value-adding and compassionate way of dealing
with each other in industry and business.
