Obviously, Giving Fearlessness is the very way to comfort and care for those who have many troubles and help them remove from anxiety and irritability. Actually, concern and bless in the mind or a given smile is invisible equanimity. Mr Ruodon and his wife, the “Computer King” of the United States, have a large villa where there is used to meet tens of thousands of donators and visitors. However, they decided to donate their money to the community charities and helped develop the arts; Furthermore, they, setting up more than one of the foundations, subsidized the Museum of Art, museum, newspaper with financial difficulties as well as education. In truth, we are shown that for them, doing a great charity don”t have any impact on the accumulation of capital, but strengthen their power; moreover, they have more prosperous business and fertile family, which is far more than their previous investment. At the same time, they are more admired than any other businessmen, and upgrade their own status in the community business.
“悲拔苦”、—拔众生之苦;“喜无畏”—给众生无畏,两者体现在社会上就行慈善事业。当众生有种种灾难怖畏之事,将自己的钱财施舍给需要帮助的人;或在工作生活中遇到的种种烦恼、压力,不良情绪等影响工作甚至伤害到人,以无畏的精神安慰他们,帮助他们免去内心的怖畏去除不安与烦躁。其实默默地关怀与祝福,给人笑脸也是无形的布施。美国的“计算机大王”若顿夫妇,其庞大的别墅每年接待成千上万的募捐者和参观者。夫妇俩他们决定将他们的钱财贡献给社会的慈善事业,并扶助艺术方面的新生力量;他们成立了不止一个的基金会,来资助艺术馆、博物馆、财政困难的报社和儿童救助以及教育事业使社会大众能长期对这个企业放心和有忠诚。其实我们也从中看得出他们的善举并未因此而影响其资本的积累,他们的势力反而更壮大,商业更昌隆,家庭更富饶,远远超过了其先前的投资。同时获得好名誉,提高了自己在商界的地位。
“Generosity to no self” is to do service for society or the consumers with nothing attached in our mind by no self, listening to carefully and patiently what they mind, satisfying with their need in no time, and doing good service for them in sincere heart. There is a saying in The Diamond Sutra: “keep our mind from attaching forms or external environment, from voice, smell, taste, touching and all phenomena (five dusts—form, voice, smell, taste, touching is laid into our mind). Observing anything in peaceful mind without attachment.” A Japanese scholar Yitengzhao once said: “No Japanese entrepreneur who is sophisticated does not get through The Analects of Confucius and Daodejing. Supposed to say, if most entrepreneurs in the world, besides reading The Analects of Confucius and Daodejing, having a deep search of Buddha Sutra will have more knowledgeable about what the true purpose of being a human and doing business. And then competition is not only a characteristic of market economy, but integrity, humbleness, mutual interest and win-win will be a dharma treasure that makes the promise of enterprise much better”.
“舍无得”—为社会服务时心不生有为消费者施舍的心,时时倾听他们的心声,及时地满足他们的需求,真实地为他们服务。金刚经云:“不应住色生心,不应住声香味触法生心,应无所住而生其心。”日本学者伊藤肇也曾指出:“日本企业家只要稍有水平的,无不熟读《论语》和《道德经》。可以设想,如果世界上多数企业家除熟读《论语》和《道德经》外,还能深入佛教经藏,真正理解做人成事的真实意义,那么,竞争不再是市场经济唯一的特色,诚信、谦和、互利、共赢才是通达企业美好愿景的法宝。”
Thereby, if a company integrates with the Four Immeasureables “loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity” as the company ethics and code of conduct, it will obtain the support of society and country. In reality, this is a kind of distillation of the enterprise.
所以企业如果能以佛教的四无量心“慈悲喜舍”作为企业道德行为准则,就能够得到社会群体的拥戴和国家的支持。这其实也是企业的一种升华。
In short, what”s mentioned above, Buddhism thought itself possesses transcendent thought, by which establishes the harmonious enterprise. Fully aware of all phenomena that arises due to causes and conditions and ceases to exist also due to causes and conditions, observing no realistic mind, enlightening the thought of “Everyone Equality” in front of impermanence, why are we worried about the management
Why are we keeping hateful to other people
Why are we irritated with the consumers not coming
Moreover, knowledgeable of the Dependent Origination theory, we will obey the rules and behave ourselves, make our mind purified. By the heart of equality and peaceful mind, we do wholesome to every one, care for, praise and encourage the staff, being honest to other people in society and doing charity for society. Why are we not happy to do that
A distinguish built on the equality and a harmony based on the distinction, is just the harmonious road of a modern enterprise.
综上所述,佛教思想它本身就具有超越的思想,以超越的思想构建和谐企业,充分了解了一切事物缘生缘灭,观自心不可得,在无常面前人人平等,何愁管理不好?何必与员工结怨仇?何愁客不来?对自己言行律己,净念自心,以平等心、平常心对待一切人,对员工体贴关怀赞叹鼓励,对社会诚实守信,布施行善,何乐而不为?一种建立在平等上的差别,又建立在差别上的和谐,这就是现代企业的和谐之道。
