Corporate Mindfulness
- Mindfulness, in the Buddhist tradition, is a tool to sit with, understand, alleviate, and ultimately overcome suffering.
- No doubt, mindfulness in itself might alleviate some of the suffering workers experience.

- Moreover, corporate mindfulness is typically shorn from the ethical teachings that accompany it in Buddhism.
- “Right Livelihood” is a part of the “Eightfold Path” of Buddhism.
