Abstract
In this paper, through literature review and interviews, the academician-practitioner examines and views change from the perspective of Buddhism. If human beings are not attached to a system, a procedure or a practice in one form or the other, they simply move from one to another. No feelings of loss exist when there are no feelings of desire and attachment. One thus just slides or moves along. 'Move with the cheese. And enjoy it!' (Johnson, 1998). Change is to be gladly accepted, and interestingly, what the management gurus are saying about coping with change coincide with Buddhist principles.
