Thank you, Matt! That actually sounds really interesting. Sorry, Lurker, for possibly slightly derailing your thread 🙂 I’m just honestly so very interested in the topic.

Like I said, I don’t see any problems combining Buddhism and entrepreneurship (though I’m admittedly not a Buddhist, so I’m probably not the right person to make a comment like that), and I would like to see more of those practices put into use in the business world. Nothing wrong with making a profit, but maximising profits at the cost of the well-being of the workers, as an example, is so very shortsighted and quite horrible. Especially larger businesses have a huge impact on people’s lives and the society in general, so there is so much potential there to make a positive change.

As for your point about the intention, Lurker, I agree. Anything can be done with good intentions or not so good intentions.
