Roots of Renewal
A Call from the Heart: A Moral and Spiritual Approach to Economics
Throughout the many years of teaching, I tried repeatedly to make economics relevant, interesting, and appealing to my students.

For the Love of Teaching
...'I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.'-Lao Tzu
“No one should teach who is not in love with teaching”- Margaret E. Sangster

‘Heaven is my father and earth is my mother,
and I, a small child, find myself placed intimately between them.

what directs the universe I regard as my nature.
All people are my brothers and sisters; all things are my companions.’- Zhang Zai (1020–1077)
