‘As long as we are staying in the optimizing mindset, we are living in the past.’
For Buddhist monk Shoukei Matsumoto, the question isn’t how to leave a great legacy – but what not to leave behind. Guided by a Buddhist view of ancestry, he believes becoming a good ancestor is about subtracting rather than adding.
It’s a mindset that has taken him from studying literature at Tokyo University to learning at a temple and then an MBA.
