Abstract:

This article is to share my contemplative practices in business education and develop a body of

knowledge and a skill-set to be used to educate graduate and undergraduate business students to become

responsible decision makers. Contemplative practices lead students to know how to integrate their lives

and actualize the ideals of business. The practices demand participants to be aware of the process of

teaching and learning in the formation of conscience. The contemplative practices will become productive

when they are accepted as important norms and values in business education.
