The Danish Chamber in co-operation with the French Chamber is pleased to invite you to join this special breakfast event. Matthieu Ricard is well-known for his humanitarian work, and books about happiness and Buddhism, and most people wouldn’t expect him to be involved in corporate affairs, while in fact, he is a regular guest at the Davos World Economic Forum. How can a French Buddhist monk contribute in a world leaders’ gathering? This is one of the many questions Matthieu Ricard will answer during this breakfast event, where he will also discuss how altruism should be an essential value in order to run a sustainable corporation.
About the speaker:
Matthieu Ricard is a Buddhist monk, an author, translator, and photographer. He has lived, studied, and worked in the Himalayan region for over forty years.
The son of French philosopher Jean-François Revel and artist Yahne Le Toumelin, Matthieu was born in France in 1946 and grew up among the personalities and ideas of Paris’ intellectual and artistic circles. He earned a Ph.D. degree in cell genetics at the renowned Institut Pasteur under the Nobel Laureate Francois Jacob. In 1967, he traveled to India to meet great spiritual masters from Tibet.
After completing his doctoral thesis in 1972, he decided to concentrate on Buddhist studies and practice. Since then, he has lived in India, Bhutan, and Nepal and studied with some of the greatest teachers of that tradition, Kyapje Kangyur Rinpoche (1897-1975) and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991).
He is the author of several books including The Monk and the Philosopher, a dialogue with his father; The Quantum and the Lotus, a dialogue with the astrophysicist Trinh Xuan Thuan; Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill; and Why Meditate? (The Art of Meditation in UK). His books have been translated into over twenty languages.

DCC is very excited to invite you to a tour of the MTR Operations Control Centre in Tsing Yi.
The Operations Control Centre (OCC) is the “heart” of MTR train operations. For 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, staff of the three existing heavy rail OCCs in Tsing Yi, Fo Tan and Kam Tin keep close watch on every train and activity in the network to ensure the delivery of safe and reliable services for the more than four million passengers each day.
This year, the operational control of the entire heavy rail network was moved under one roof, a “Super OCC” at Tsing Yi. The move to centralise was planned as part of the rail merger in 2007. Come see for yourself how the Tsing Yi OCC works presently, and how it is prepared to serve the five new railway lines currently under construction in Hong Kong. An update on the progress of the five new railway lines will also be given.
