Devoted to Corporate Attorneys, Corporate Lawyers, and Corporate Counsel

In his book, Zen At Work, Les Kaye, who used to work at IBM Corporation, writes about how to use meditation and Zen practice in the high tech world to just be at one with the circumstances, versus to alter the situations.

Kaye began practicing Zen at about the same time that he began working at IBM. He started at IBM as an engineer, and over time he worked in sales, technical writing and other departments.

He writes of how he met his wife in a plane ride, and how they studied Zen together. He states that while sitting, even if a cushion is not comfortable, one must make the most it during the sitting. The time to alter the cushion is when the sitting is over. This advice may be applied to any situation in which one may not be entirely happy with. For instance, when one takes on a job that is not ideal, one may try to make the most of it such that it turns into opportunity in time.
