What Should a Buddhist Enterprise Look Like If There Is Any?

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A

Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim(November 7, 2021)

🔹Question : I’d like to ask Sunim’s view on the idea of building a Buddhist corporate model in different areas of the industry. So the background of this is, I’ve seen a lot of religion based companies around the world but rarely a Buddhist company. So one great example is Jainism companies in India. They have different companies in IT, media. Jains actually apply strict principles such as nonposession, nonattachment in their business and they utilize their company resources andtechnology to help numerous people. So I’ve been thinking that it’d be great for Buddhist practitioners to build a company that can sort of represent Buddhist values in the industry. So I was thinking it might not be possible to be like Junto Society where it’s like 100% pure but at least I thought that it might be able to implement some degrees. So to summarize I’d like to ask your view on the idea of a Buddhist company. If any Buddhist practitioner were to build such a company in the future, do you have any principles or guidelines you’d like to suggest?
