Why Focus on the Davos Conference?
Many consider the World Economic Forum and its annual Davos meetings as, at best, a talking shop for powerful corporations and vested economic interests. While this is an undeniable aspect of the meetings, a deeper look reveals that more enlightened interests have a strong presence at Davos, and with so many world leaders and influential thinkers together in one place, an opportunity exists for the principles of right relations to influence the thinking, planning, and life-mission of participants.
While there are many spaces where powerful economic groups work with the sole goal of perpetuating their own interests, regardless of the impact on the well-being of humanity and the earth, the World Economic Forum is centred around a vision of ‘A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet.’ In the words of WEF founder, Klaus Schwab, such an economy requires “a form of capitalism in which companies do not only optimize short-term profits for shareholders, but seek long term value creation, by taking into account the needs of all their stakeholders, and society at large.”
During the period immediately following World War II, the Tibetan noted that it was “essential that all aspirants and disciples throw the weight of their spiritual development and the light of their souls on the side of the Forces attempting to plan for the good of humanity, and who regard the welfare of the whole as of far greater importance than any national situation or demand.” The Externalization of the Hierarchy, p. 450.
