There are many influences in our business life. I have studied and follow some of the Zen path. One of my clients recently sent me an email about a conversation she had with an employee who they plan to let go but want her to stay on for a few months for transition purposes.

He writes, "I spoke with Jill (Not her real name) yesterday and she told me that over the weekend she went to the temple and asked Buddha if she should stay through January and help with the training of the new manager and that Buddha said "yes". She seems very at peace with the situation and very willing to help us find the best person for the job. I am happy that Buddha is on our side."
