“Solivagant” through the eyes of Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche https://openasiagroup.com/solivagant-through-the-eyes-of-venerable-tenzin-priyadarshi-rinpoche/ https://openasiagroup.com/solivagant-through-the-eyes-of-venerable-tenzin-priyadarshi-rinpoche/#respond Thu, 05 Dec 2024 03:19:41 +0000 https://openasiagroup.com/?p=6331

Held at the Press Club in Hanoi from November 8 to 24, the photo exhibition “Solivagant” by the Buddhist monk and scholar Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche, organized by Openasia, invites viewers to embark on a journey not guided by maps or compasses, but by vision—a true quest to capture the beautiful moments of existence.

Exhibition space at Press Club

“Solivagant” is the name of the photo exhibition by the Buddhist monk and scholar Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche. Born into a Hindu family in Vaishali, India, Venerable Tenzin entered a Buddhist monastery in Rajgir, near the ancient Nalanda University, at the age of ten. He is currently the Founding President and CEO of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a non-partisan think-and-do tank focused on research and interdisciplinary programs related to human development and global ethics.

Passionate about photography since the age of eleven, Venerable Tenzin has captured precious moments of life during his solitary wanderings over the years. He never intended to display or exhibit his work; he simply documented what he observed and connected with the world around him. Through this exhibition, he hopes viewers can achieve a deeper connection with themselves and spread this connection to those around them.

Connecting with people and nature - photos by Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche

The 32 photos displayed in the exhibition each carry their own stories and messages, inviting viewers to explore themes of solitude, spirituality, and the profound beauty of the natural world. For instance, the photo of a young nomadic girl in a Tibetan village (top right) captures the simple beauty of life. The nomadic tribes live very simply, with few needs. Venerable Tenzin took the photo one clear morning in Tibet while talking with the girl’s uncle, and her innocence and purity made him see the beauty in life.

Although the “Solivagant” photo exhibition by Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche lasted only three weeks, it left a deep impression on art lovers in general and the members of Openasia in particular, highlighting the value of life.

The event celebrating Openasia’s 30th anniversary was held in Hue on August 19-20, 2024. Themed “Openasia United”, this celebration embodies the Group’s spirit of solidarity and commitment to sustainable development.

From its humble beginnings as a small company founded by three friends, Openasia has blossomed over three decades into a vibrant ecosystem, supported by a dedicated workforce across Vietnam’s North, Central, and South regions. The recent celebration of its 30th anniversary featured a series of events that fostered camaraderie and allowed members of the Openasia family to connect and engage meaningfully. The exciting activities during the two-day journey in Hue not only reignited pride in past achievements but also sparked creativity and collaboration for the future.

Let’s revisit the emotional moments of the 30th-anniversary celebration of Openasia.

The Gala Night, held within the Imperial City, commenced with a solemn guard change ceremony reminiscent of the Nguyen Dynasty.
The three founders of Openasia led the procession through the iconic Ngo Mon Gate, entering the heart of the Imperial City.
An emotional moment of sharing among three friends about the 30-year journey of Openasia.

With a blend of gentle moments and vibrant energy, the creative performances from member companies beautifully brought to life the journey of the past 30 years. Unfolding across four chapters—The Origin, The Explosion, The Ecosystem, and The Future—these performances truly stirred deep emotions.

The performance of the Openasia choir, featuring "One Moment in Time," resonated deeply and brought the Gala Night to a powerful conclusion.
In the morning of August 20, generations of Openasia united for a lively folk dance at Alba Resort, complemented by specially choreographed songs and movements.

As Openasia embarks on a new phase, embracing the spirit of “Openasia United,” it remains committed to building a sustainable future—prioritizing not only the achievements of the Group, companies, and teams but also the growth and progress of each individual member.

Openasia Group recently disclosed the results of the 2023 Employee Happiness Survey (EHS). With participation from 1,608 Openasia employees—equivalent to 96% of the workforce—the survey provides valuable insights into employee engagement, job satisfaction, and trends over time.

Alba Huế Team: “We are proud to be Openasia People.”

The survey results indicate a positive trend in overall happiness among Openasia People. The 4% increase in the Happiness Index from 2022 to 2023 is commendable, and the reduction in job stress is equally noteworthy. It’s particularly encouraging that no unit falls below an 80% Happiness Index. These findings indeed reflect a high level of job satisfaction within the organization.

The smiles named Tam Sơn

Aspects of overall Health and Welfare have seen significant improvement compared to 2022, while Organizational Culture – Preservation and Ecological Diversity aspects maintain good results. Additionally, the Satisfaction and Retention indices reaching high levels (98% and 84%, respectively) demonstrate employees’ contentment with their current roles and their commitment to the Group’s future. The reduction in negative feedback related to job stress (from 14.5% to 6%) reflects Openasia’s ongoing dedication to fostering a positive and diverse work environment

Professional development is a priority at Alba Wellness Valley

On the contrary, survey results for aspects like Effective Management, Work-Life Balance, and Community Responsibility tend to decrease. The exploration of new perspectives in Training and Development, Effective Management, and Environmental Protection is a positive step toward addressing these challenges.

Alba Resort’s outstanding overall Happiness Index of 98% underscores their commitment to fostering a positive and joyful work environment for employees.

“We collaborate closely with department heads, actively listening to and addressing employees’ challenges to provide timely solutions.
