The ego plays a major role in our life. Practicing Zen in management takes the manager to a level of egolessness. Zen finds its source in the experience of Shakyamuni Buddha, who in the process of enlightenment came across the elements of mindfulness and concentration--The noble eightfold path. These are key elements of success for the ＂managers in making＂. The purpose of this paper consists in rethinking today＇s management systems in order to look for ways of management which are better adapted to human life. It is assumed that a management practice which takes into consideration of the characteristics of human life must be accepted by a large number of people and would be effective and sustainable. This paper highlights the eight elements of＂The noble eightfold path＂ and its effective implications in management for the ＂managers in making＂ process--A guide towards success.展开更多

The major claim of the paper is that certain dimensions of Tangut Buddhism are traceable to their Sinitic parental tradition, the Buddhism in the Tangut Empire evolved in a specific manner, which was influenced by the Buddhism of the Liao Empire. This implies that Sinitic Buddhism in Xixia was modeled according to the model ＂perfect teaching,＂ promoted by the Liao Buddhists. Thus, the approach basedon the traditional ＂school＂ （including ＂Chan School＂） paradigm is inappropriate for the study of Tangut Buddhism. In this stead I am suggesting a ＂perfect＂ approach, which allows grouping the available texts on the basis of their position in the scheme of the ＂perfect teaching＂ and explores the contents of these texts from this angle. Thus, the specific nature of the texts traditionally deemed as Chan in the Tangut Buddhist system is seen in their relationship to the ultimate practice of the ＂contemplation of the Dharma realm.＂ Finally, the paper introduces some new translations from Tangut.展开更多
