The Process of Mind Development & Purification............
The effects of corruption on human lives, people society, private, corporate and government, peace and securities, and the natural resources of the world are clearly recognized as our awful human problems and misery. Despite what we have been trying to solve the problems and suffering progressively through various policies, strategies and tools, where all our efforts are truly human externality ~ the physical instruments, outside human “body” and à not through inside the human “mind”, the outcomes seem not to be much effective. Many policies, strategies and instruments we used until today have never ever touched the root cause of corruption which is still laid down deeply inside the “ mind” of those corrupted persons and of those who are facing the risk of being corrupted persons and of those persons to be corrupted in future. At the same time, our fighting styles against corruption at the end, may not be different from fight for destruction in the world war, where morality; abstaining from physical and vocal actions that cause harm to oneself and others, could be sadly avoided. These will surely cause and the effects will be even more and more suffering for the whole world.
As theme of the 14th IACC dedicates to “Restoring trust: Global action for transparency”, we must be 1st transparent by having our self-awareness with the right understanding of our own body and our own mind how these two parts do work together! Self-awareness and self-compassion are the essential aspects of effective leaders, especially when they are under stress and pressure. Our body and mind are working together as the Process Mechanism of the Five Aggregates comprising the five senses in the body namely ears, eyes, nose, tongue, other body organs and another sixth sense in the mind comprising consciousness, perception, sensation and reaction. The sixth sense: mind of consciousness; perception; sensation; and reaction must be trained strong, having awareness to resist temptation, weakness and delusions that breed Corruption. Only Vipassana ~ Insight Meditation: the methods of “effective mind training” can strengthens the mind by purifying it, changing this illness mind-set from bad to good & to be better performed as well.
We seek better organization and corporate disclosure and reporting as the action for transparency. We talk about social damage of corporate crime and corruption and its implication; exploration of various methods for collective action through various governmental and business organizations with cooperation inclusive of institutional investor role to preempt corruption in private sector; innovation in the implementation of business ethics and code of conduct for practices under the principles of CG - Good Corporate Governance and CSR-Corporate Social Responsibility. Now it is time for us to be more sensible and conscious transparent in our own mind and in all human mind to pay attention to the methods of “effective mind training”, such as Insight Meditation, in order to eradicate corruption at the root cause successfully.
