His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for the new millennium gave us 18 basic principles.
addition to being very clear in their beauty and humanity, are perfect indicators of principles which not only deal with life but also the relationship with the other, the relationship with the things that happen to us every day, the report with our actions, our choices and their consequences.
People who come to me, are looking for a "formula" that will help them live better, work better and with greater efficiency, achieve better results. Each of them has its own history, a collection of memories, facts, values, goals, fears and desires and unique characteristics.
There is no universal recipe, nor does it work proposals that do not depart directly from the individuality of the person and his history. Each path is a composition of many hands, mine and those of my client.
However I would propose the 18 principles of life as a demonstration of how, Buddhism and the resulting principles would make a useful place in our daily personal and professional practice. Open any textbook on the current leadership and we find them.
Here they are:
1) Keep always into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2) When you lose, do not lose the lesson.
3) Always follow the 3 R's: Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for your actions.
4) Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5) Learn the rules so that you can break them properly.
6) Do not let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7) When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8) Spend some 'time alone every day.
9) Open your arms to change, but do not let go of your values.
10) Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11) Live a good, honorable life, so that, when older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
12) A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation of your life.
13) When you are in disagreement with the people you loved ones, deal only with the current, without dragging in the past.
14) Share your knowledge. It 's a way to achieve immortality.
15) Be gentle with the earth.
16) At least once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
17) Remember that the best relationship is one in which we love more than you need each other.
18) Judge your success by what you had to give to get it.
