  1. Right Livelihood Business Right Livelihood: Earning money in a way that follows Buddhist principles

  2. What makes a successful business? What things does a successful business do?

  3. You are bidding against other teams for a grant to start a business; the money is coming from a Buddhist organisation and so you need a good idea based on ‘right livelihood’ principles, as well as other Buddhist and business ideas. • You need to put together a presentation about your proposed business, which you will present to the judging panel. Your presentation should last for 5 minutes. • The Chair of the judging panel will ask individuals from each team questions about the proposal, so you all need to be fully prepared. The questions will include: • Tell me about a Buddhist teaching that your business tries to follow (different group members will be asked about different teachings). • Tell me how the business does this. • Tell me what you think is good about the way a Buddhist business is run. • Tell me what you think might be difficult about the way a Buddhist business is run. • Tell me what would be good about working for your business. • Tell me whether you think that the people involved in your business would be happy about the way your business is run. • You should think about these questions in your groups, but not prepare answers to read out.
