Living our values

A 22 year old heir to a large infrastructure company believes luxury lies in work and relationships, not materialism. "Unity of family, companionship of friends, and faith in God..."  are the luxuries, he believes one should truly strive for. "More than anything," he continues, "I like to meet new people and learn about their viewpoints. That's like a luxury to me."

The three luxuries the young man talks of, reflect his personal core values. Values are the practices we use (or should be using) every day in everything we do.


They form the foundation on which we perform work and conduct ourselves. In an ever-changing world, core values are constant.  Core values are not descriptions of the work we do or the strategies we employ to accomplish our life purpose, our Dharma.  They  underlie our work, how interact with each other, and which strategies we employ to fulfill it.
