Gradually, more and more people are coming to understand that the necessary transformation of our institutions of business, education, and governance, and the larger systems of which they are a part, is inseparable from the transformation of personal awareness and intention. Serious commitment to this inner and outer work was rare even a decade or two ago. Today, it is becoming an important and hopeful sign that we are beginning an era of real change.
In my assessment, the transformation of personal awareness and intention is ‘the work of our time’. Yasuhiko told me of his awakening to this need in his twenties, while studying in India as a young Buddhist priest. He realized that this was no longer the age of individual cultivation; it is the age of collective cultivation. For those who share my sense that transformation really matters, I invite you to work and study with Yasuhiko as well as to read his essays and books.
