A volume in Advances in Workplace Spirituality: Theory, Research, and Application
Series Editor Louis W. (Jody) Fry, Texas A&M University - Central Texas
INNER PEACE-GLOBAL IMPACT describes underlying principles of Tibetan wisdom traditions relevant
for successful leadership in the 21st century as well as Tibetan teachers whose entrepreneurial actions
were critical to the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. With first-person narratives, personal
stories, scholarly research, and commentaries by noted social scientists, this book is written for everyone
who wants ideas to revitalize leadership.
It is rich with vivid pictures of deep personal experience. Long-time Western Tibetan Buddhist practitioners
describe how their practice has influenced them in fields as diverse as scientific research, social work,
art, dance, and university teaching. The Dalai Lama is seen through the eyes of his long-time friend, eminent
author Huston Smith, as well as through the experiences of Thupten Jinpa, his 25-year English translator.
Sogyal Rinpoche shares his vision for transforming traditional ways of studying, while Lama
Tharchin Rinpoche, a 10th generation Tibetan yogi, reflects on the challenges of teaching in a Western culture
where perspectives differ so vastly from those of Tibet.
With insights from Tibetan lamas and Western thought leaders including Peter Senge, Bill George, and
Margaret Wheatley, this book creates new visions for leadership and the workplace.
