At first glance, marketing and Buddhism are polar opposites. However Phra Jitr Chittasangvaro, once a consultant in advertising, communications, and marketing, always made time to practice Buddhism and the art of Dhamma. Training at the Plum Village in the studies of Buddhism doctrine, he is inquisitive and observant – always asking the larger questions about the purpose of human existence. These are the steps he took to climb and reach executive positions as he is always willing to learn about the relationship between nature, life, and our mind. He is always striving to understand the connections between the internal and external world, concluding that awareness will guide us smoothly through the turbulences of life. The real art of communication lies within good sense and compassion towards others, in order for us to relieve feelings of suffering from ourselves and from each other.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBangkok, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBangkok event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Learn more about TEDx at TEDx Talks.
