I have had detailed discussions with more than a dozen
business executives who are small-scale entrepreneurs, after their Vipassana courses.
These discussions have confirmed that, after a Vipassana course, they are able to work 20%
faster than before, and the quality of their work has the improved value of being
performed by a subtle mind. They report that qualities of greed, anger, arrogance, and
prejudice have decreased and there is less friction in dealing with staff members. Very
healthy and cordial interpersonal relations have resulted, and the wealth of their
enterprises has steadily increased as a result of these positive changes.
