About Mitra Path

Mitra Path is dedicated to improving communities around the world by helping people start and manage small businesses. We believe that home-based and small businesses can provide not only a decent livelihood for owners and employees, but also help the community flourish.

Mindfulness and Entrepreneurship serve as the foundation for Mitra Path’s work and practice. These enable us to identify and manage businesses that:

  • 
Meet one or more needs of our society
  • Allow us to earn our livelihood, and
  • Help us realize our potential and personal goals

With mindfulness, we can identify a particular need of the society that we wish to fulfill and thus find the motive for our business. Entrepreneurship helps us manage that business successfully.

We practice mindfulness based on ‘Not-Knowing.’ According to Bernie Glassman, Not-Knowing is entering a situation without being attached to any opinion, idea or concept. This means total openness to the situation and deep listening to the situation.

We practice entrepreneurship based on the management philosophy of Dr. Kazuo Inamori, which is focused on the happiness of employees and contribution to society.

Based on his own experience as an engineer, an entrepreneur and a Zen practitioner, Nem Bajra will show you a path leading to career fulfillment.  Work can be financially rewarding, personally fulfilling and beneficial to our community by integrating meditation with business and personal development skills. Although several resources including technology, meditation and self-development methods are readily available to us, we are often too busy (or our mind is too cluttered) to utilize these resources effectively in our everyday work life.  In the midst of a chaotic and competitive world, meditation has helped Nem and his team build an employee-owned and managed IT consulting company that is profitable and dedicated to the well-being of the community.

Our chosen venue will be the Zen Center of Los Angeles, where thousands of people including scholars, artists, entrepreneurs and professionals have been trained on Zen meditation based on the 2500 years old tradition.

Sessions are open to all levels.  There is no need to attend the sessions in order.  However, newcomers are asked to arrive at 7:00 PM so that they can get an overview of the MCF program and receive instructions on Meditation. Please RSVP by contacting Nem if you plan to do so.
