People are constantly surrounded by others and come to understand themselves based on the opinions of family and friends rather than taking the time for solitary self-reflection.

The document outlines four stages in the journey of faith:
1. Simplicity - characterized by dualistic thinking with a focus on right vs wrong. Identity is dependent on authority figures.
2. Complexity - characterized by a pragmatic focus on effectiveness. Identity comes from achievements and causes.
3. Perplexity - characterized by relativism with the view that everyone has an opinion. Identity comes from solitude or small alienated groups.
4. Harmony - characterized by seeking wisdom and fulfilling potential through service. Identity comes from interdependent relationships. The document notes challenges in ministering to people at different stages and the importance of not rushing through the stages.

Maintaining boundaries may require respectful confrontation at times. Self-care involves more than boundaries, as it also requires healthy relationships with others, self, environment, and God for integrated growth in wisdom, stature, and favor. An integrated approach involves thinking, feeling, and doing.

The Gohonzon serves as an external focus for practitioners' devotion and helps them transform suffering into enlightenment by recognizing their own innate Buddha nature.

We should encourage others in their own growth and uphold our ideals while listening to our inner wisdom. With faith in ourselves, nothing is impossible, as all power is already within. We should learn everyday by uncovering the infinite knowledge within and speak truthfully.

The Human Person | Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human PersonWilfredoDJ1
The document discusses the Buddhist philosophy of a person through the life of Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha. It notes he was born into a royal family in what is now Nepal. Four significant realizations shaped Siddhartha's life: encountering an old man made him realize we all grow old; a sick man showed illness is universal; a corpse demonstrated we all die; and seeing a monk taught him renunciation is possible. These insights prompted Siddhartha to leave his life of luxury to find the truth about suffering and how to be liberated from it, culminating in his enlightenment and teaching others the path to liberation through Buddhism.

12 steps to transform your organization into the agile org you deservePierre E. NEIS
During an organizational transformation, the shift is from the previous state to an improved one. In the realm of agility, I emphasize the significance of identifying polarities. This approach helps establish a clear understanding of your objectives. I have outlined 12 incremental actions to delineate your organizational strategy.
Originally presented at XP2024 Bolzano
While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

BUT THE FRUIT OF OUR
PERCEPTION
“IN THE ORIENT, I am
informed, there exist huge
forests populated by exotic
animals and flowers. Men who
have visited those regions
attest to the strange customs
of the natives who inhabit
them. They speak of striped
carnivores known as tigers
feeding on victims who go
naked but for stripes painted
all over their bodies. Some
observers maintain that these
natives are barely human

3. A TRIP TOWARD THE PERSONAL LEADERSHIP
First thing we will do is to establish our own map.
We already have one – old and quite worn out. It
has been useful until this moment and we have
reached wherever we have reached thanks to it. To
create a new leadership map means to reinterpret
the meaning of being a leader.
We are going to travel and we will use this new
map all the time.
Let’s talk before starting…
4. PERSONAL LEADERSHIP MAP
What is to lead?
What are my models of leadership? At the
time of leading, what is my base?
What are the characteristics of those
models? Perhaps dedication, or strength.
Maybe courage and determination, softness
and love?
In this map, what is the place I want to
reach? Just like my model, or is it OK to be a
little less?
W
5. AFTER HAVING A MAP…
Let’s go for a trip!
We are going to travel toward the country of
our leadership. We will take more than one
day to accomplish the trip, and the map we
have just designed we will help us all the
time.
After reaching there, we will take sometime
to settle. But we know we will be much better
than before.
6. FOR TRAVELLING, WE ASK QUESTIONS
There are some questions we must ask
before travelling.
If you travel to another place, these are some
of the questions to be asked:
What is the weather?
How is the people there?
How to dress?
In groups, we will go even deeper, asking the
questions about our final destination.

7. LEADERSHIP
Conceptual leadership, which describes the
leader from an ideal point of view. It gives us
a kind of precision in relation to what a leader
should be like.
The real leadership is that idea put into
practise. It is your leadership, my leadership,
that leadership we all use in the day today
life.
Any difference between them?
8. CONCEPTUAL LEADERSHIP
How the leader should be?
We can summarize conceptual leadership like this:
Capacity of convincing people to do what they would
never do.
Complete coherence.
Accomplish a vision without compromising values and
principles.
Creation of new leaders.
Leaving a footprint in History.
9. REAL LEADERSHIP
How is the leader?
This is a turbulent world, so:
People do not get convinced that easily, and even after
being convinced there is nothing there to guarantee they
will do whatever the leader is proposing.
A natural incoherence.
There is the accomplishment of a vision, but with the
compromise of values or principles.
Creation of some leaders, but mostly followers.
It is very hard to leave a footprint in History.

11. REALIZATION EXERCISES - II
A billionaire got in touch with me. He needs my help to
create an indigenous nation in Central America, where all
their needs are fulfilled and they can dedicated themselves
to whatever they feel like, without having to work for
surviving. Reason: he is a descendant of natives from
Central America, this is why he has that interest. He has a
piece of land big enough for that, and all the needed budget.
He is also in close touch with a group of natives.
In group, talk with others about what you would do. At the
end of the conversation, the group will have a simple plan
indicating the basic steps to help that person to accomplish
his vision.
After making the decision, the group will present it for
others.

12. DIFFERENCES
Let’s take some of our time to reflect on
leadership: the one that is and the one that
should be.
Let’s take our personal leadership map and
check what is more important and we cannot
compromise in our leadership.
Let’s look inside ourselves, in our own
leadership capacity.

13. SELF-LEADERSHIP
Its principle is so simple: before leading
others, you must learn to lead yourself.
The practise is something else. We learn
how to lead others – and we became experts
in that – but we forget how to lead ourselves.
So, let’s look inside ourselves again, to that
being we are, and let’s go back to that simple
principle.

As self-leadership comes from within, it is
important to know what is there.
As an iceberg we only show what is outside and
our relationships are superficial.

treasures.
Which treasures? Our virtues and hidden
talents. They are what we really have and many
times, we don’t value.
Let’s see what we have.
19. HOW TO GET THESE 8 SPIRITUAL POWERS
Through meditation. When we meditate, we
connect our intellect with the self and God.
Inside the self there is a source of hidden
treasures, and from them the 8 powers
emerge. Essentially, the being has 5 innate
qualities:
Peace Love Power Purity Happiness
20. HOW IT REALLY WORKS
To not think much, to learn how to trust
in your inner fellings at the time of
acting.
Meditating daily, renewing those
powers.
To have a clear knowledge of the use of
each one of the powers. To use them in
a worthwhile way – they don’t hurt, but if
we don’t use them in a proper way, we

Leadership from within depends on our realization,
our experiences. Part of the realization depends on
understanding whatever just happened.
Let’s look our map, comparing what happened until
this moment.
Let’s look at the questions we asked ourselves at
the beginning of this trip. Could we reply them?
Let’s meditate. A lot.
