人間佛教管理與應用Studies on Humanistic Buddhism VII: Buddhist Management

The seventh volume of Studies on Humanistic Buddhism explores the application of Buddhist wisdom to contemporary management. The volume contains ten articles-eight translated from Chinese and two written in English (McKenzie and Goirand, Starlyte)-as well as two student papers.

The topics range from the management of business enterprises, educational and monastic organizations, the self, and even the creation of a Pure Land. A unifying theme across the articles is the insight that cultivating one's own mind is the foundation for effectively managing others. As Huang Kuo-Ching noted in an earlier volume of this journal, "Venerable Master Hsing Yun pointed out that the core aspect of management lies in management of the mind. Moreover, a leader must have the ability to manage one's mind before managing that of others." This underscores the central message of this volume: effective leadership begins with self-management.
