Dhamma Consolidation Page
I have been invited to give Dhamma talks for a few years now, and I just realized that my writings and videos are spread out across the internet like random pigeon droppings on a street. So here’s a single place to find them. Please DM me if I missed out anything. I hope these are helpful. 🙂

How to apply Buddhist Principles at Work – 2022

How to make decisions at work
How to conduct yourself at work well, by body speech & mind

An additional piece in HOL was about retrenchment, and how to deal with it well
