Mindful Business Commitment
THE 5TH PRACTICE FIELD
Mindful handling of money and resources
When handling money and resources, I will practice …
... guarding my financial freedom by living within my means and avoiding unnecessary debt.
... strengthening my inner and outer generosity and learn to give without intention and receive without shame.
... experiencing and deepen the joy of sharing without expectations.
... seeing money as a powerful energy that can produce either healthy or unhealthy effects, aware that every dollar, pound, euro, franc or crown that I spend represents my vote.
I will stop regularly, return to myself and practice…
... investing in companies whose products, motivations, methods or working conditions I value.
... refraining from speculation or betting.
... giving up return on investment or financial gain as the dominant criteria when handling money.
... recognizing the joys of a self-chosen simple life.

Network for Mindful Business e.V.
We are a non-profit organization that relies on donations to pursue its long-term goals. Donations are, for us, "warm money," often called "Dana" in Buddhist terminology. Dana represents giving freely and without ulterior motives to support beneficial causes. Dana is loving-kindness and goodwill, enabling the Buddha's wisdom teachings to flow powerfully onward.
