Description
The process of globalization in today's world compels us to understand the world as a single unit, and deeply affects all aspects of our lives - economic, political and cultural. Buddhism retains its core concepts, yet has [the] capacity to include and develop new practices which makes its impact global. That is why with its concept of the Bodhisattva it has been able to move through countries, through cultures, through centuries. The Bodhisattva performs deeds, neither for himself nor his own but for all sentient beings for their welfare physical, ethical and spiritual upliftment. Thus, the ethical code and conduct of Bodhisattva ideal has a universal and eternal relevance, more so in the present-age of the danger of global destruction. Put simply, a self-centered attitude is the source of all sufferings - of one's own and of others-, while selfless attitude and a concern for others is the source of happiness, well-being and welfare of all - including one's own self. In light of this interpretation the present paper explores the causal connection between bodhisattva deeds, especially its concept of ethical code and conduct, and globalization, on the basis of Bodhicaryavatara of Santideva, as ideal giving solutions to the present-age challenges. The paper concludes that the performance of deeds and ethics are closely intertwined because performance of an action while gives opportunity to satisfy material needs if tainted by human greed, it may lead to unethical behaviour. But if, the same behaviour is galvanised by the enlightened reasoning, it will be an act of piety. Thus, it gives more stress on purification and chestening of the mind. A Manager acting thus uses critical faculties, reasoning, disciplined, and ethical mind to promote the welfare of all stakeholders. (Source Accessed Feb 11, 2022)

An "Introduction to Bodhisattva Practice," the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra is a poem about the path of a bodhisattva, in ten chapters, written by the Indian Buddhist Śāntideva (fl. c. 685–763). One of the masterpieces of world literature, it is a core text of Mahāyāna Buddhism and continues to be taught, studied, and commented upon in many languages and by many traditions around the world. The main subject of the text is bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration for enlightenment, and the path and practices of the bodhisattva, the six perfections (pāramitās). The text forms the basis of many contemporary discussions of Buddhist ethics and philosophy.
