Dialogue: 0,1:26:02.53,1:26:04.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, thank you for being here tonight
Dialogue: 0,1:26:05.10,1:26:09.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been exploring the value of mindfulness \Nin organizations and I was wondering if you
Dialogue: 0,1:26:09.80,1:26:12.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could speak a little bit more about the \Nbenefits that you see
Dialogue: 0,1:26:13.93,1:26:19.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to bringing mindfulness into workplaces\Nand I'm particularly interested in
Dialogue: 0,1:26:19.57,1:26:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how it might help to build trust
Dialogue: 0,1:26:48.76,1:26:55.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, being a monastic is \Nsomething I always wanted to do
Dialogue: 0,1:26:56.37,1:26:58.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in another way this,
Dialogue: 0,1:26:59.08,1:27:02.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I agree with my brother, \Nthere's challenges
Dialogue: 0,1:27:02.91,1:27:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so when I entered the community\Nyou know, I love to do art,
Dialogue: 0,1:27:08.23,1:27:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to sing songs and write poetry\Nbut I've always been asked to do things
Dialogue: 0,1:27:14.50,1:27:22.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is out of the ordinary\Nyou know, is not my field, is not my,
Dialogue: 0,1:27:24.56,1:27:27.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel like it's not even my capacity
Dialogue: 0,1:27:27.83,1:27:34.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but recently, the sangha invited me \Nto join the finance team and
Dialogue: 0,1:27:34.60,1:27:41.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work with all these figures, \Nand it's not what I imagined I would do
Dialogue: 0,1:27:42.33,1:27:48.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I think the practise of mindfulness \Njust helps me to just be present
Dialogue: 0,1:27:48.90,1:27:56.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to take things as they are \Nand not to have expectation or
Dialogue: 0,1:27:56.76,1:28:02.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to have to struggle with it
Dialogue: 0,1:28:02.61,1:28:05.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at first I struggled a lot, \Nbut I feel like
Dialogue: 0,1:28:06.23,1:28:11.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I can just come back to my breathing\Njust to be what it is, I can just let it go
Dialogue: 0,1:28:11.93,1:28:17.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and whatever comes, I learn from it\Nand I build my experience on it
Dialogue: 0,1:28:18.06,1:28:24.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I think that in the workplace, \Nwe can apply mindfulness
Dialogue: 0,1:28:25.77,1:28:30.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for instance, when I am working \Non something that is very challenging
Dialogue: 0,1:28:30.87,1:28:33.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for my brainwork
Dialogue: 0,1:28:34.24,1:28:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I just take a deep breath \Nand come back and smile,
Dialogue: 0,1:28:37.40,1:28:40.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and take a break\Nand we have the time-out on a screen
Dialogue: 0,1:28:40.97,1:28:46.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a bell of mindfulness that we \Ninstall into the PC or the computer
Dialogue: 0,1:28:46.94,1:28:51.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we just take a break, you know\Nyou close your eyes and breathe
Dialogue: 0,1:28:51.39,1:28:53.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then smile
Dialogue: 0,1:28:53.40,1:28:57.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I find that also working in a team \Nor in a group is very helpful
Dialogue: 0,1:28:58.06,1:29:02.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I see that I have my brothers and \Nsisters who have experience in finance
Dialogue: 0,1:29:03.44,1:29:05.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they have all kinds of experiences
Dialogue: 0,1:29:06.63,1:29:09.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when we come together, \Nwe really make things work
Dialogue: 0,1:29:10.00,1:29:12.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without, you know, one having \Nto think too hard
Dialogue: 0,1:29:13.83,1:29:17.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I think that try to learn from the \Nexperience of the others
Dialogue: 0,1:29:19.13,1:29:21.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and be mindful, be open
Dialogue: 0,1:29:22.10,1:29:25.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, you know, things can \Nbecome easier that way
Dialogue: 0,1:29:25.86,1:29:28.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than taking on everything \Non ourselves
Dialogue: 0,1:29:30.50,1:29:34.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also create a space for nurturing \Nbrotherhood and sisterhood
Dialogue: 0,1:29:36.28,1:29:41.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in our monastery, at Blue Cliff, \Nwhen we have finance meeting,
Dialogue: 0,1:29:41.52,1:29:47.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm always the team-master\NI make sure, I prepare tea and bring some
Dialogue: 0,1:29:47.06,1:29:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,snacks and cookies or some healthy snacks\Nand then we start the meeting that way
Dialogue: 0,1:29:52.72,1:29:56.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't just start by saying \N'ok, what's the agenda'
Dialogue: 0,1:29:57.02,1:30:01.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of course somebody will say that, \Nbut I always do the tea part first
Dialogue: 0,1:30:02.52,1:30:07.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's so light and nourishing and then \Npeople feel like, oh, there's a connection
Dialogue: 0,1:30:08.20,1:30:14.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are here for being together, it's \Nnot just about trying to work something out
Dialogue: 0,1:30:15.27,1:30:19.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or trying to go forward with the result,
Dialogue: 0,1:30:19.63,1:30:24.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I think that teamwork and nourishing \Nbrotherhood, sisterhood
Dialogue: 0,1:30:25.67,1:30:29.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to build the energy of mindfulness,
Dialogue: 0,1:30:29.98,1:30:32.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to share that together is very helpful
Dialogue: 0,1:30:32.52,1:30:34.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thank you
