Through an inspiring and light hearted about Buddhist philosophy and the states of happiness, Mr. Ngoc Anh has encouraged enCitizens to focus our minds. He also linked the philosophy to the role of a leader in an organization and how to harness the spiritual power of each team member. At the end of the sharing session, Mr. Ngoc Anh instructed enCitizens on the practice of Anapana “breath meditation”.

The Vietnam Initiative program, led by Mr. Tran Ngoc Anh, connects the overseas Vietnamese minds to contribute to the development of Vietnam.
