Why is it important?
The paper highlights that mindful consumption is (i) wise (it supports the genuine well-being of individuals), (ii) non-violent (does not involve hurting other sentient beings), and (iii) compassionate (it helps others to satisfy their needs). Furthermore, the paper argues that mindful entrepreneurship involves the application of Buddhist values and virtues in business activities, including production and trade.
