Well, there's part of your problem right there. I have great scepticism about businesses getting involved with things like Buddhism. From what few anecdotes I've heard, it ends up being some kind of twisted take on the source religion.
Buddhism is not some kind of pill that you swallow to move from working 70+ hours per week to 80+ hours a week.
Ultimately, Buddhism is a withdrawal. You become nobody in particular. This is the opposite of the Cult of Personality, and Manifest Destiny, that seems to permeate the tech industries (I'm looking at you, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
- fendy3002 4y agoReligion has some passages that can be cherry picked to mislead the masses and especially useful for the ruler class to direct them. Buddha is not an exception to it. As I've always feel, most traditional religion teachings doesn't fit with modern way (globalization, capitalism) of living.
