Pang Toh Wee is a maritime professional, husband, father, and lifelong student of the wisdom traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Throughout his career in the global maritime industry, he has been involved in ship finance, sustainability, technical due diligence and strategic advisory work, supporting the long-term development of the maritime sector and the transition towards a more sustainable future.
他对可持续发展的关注,并不止于环境保护。在他看来,可持续发展的根本,在于平衡与长远的思考:在经济发展与环境责任之间取得平衡,在当下需要与后代福祉之间取得平衡,在个人抱负与群体利益之间取得平衡,也在物质成就与内在充实之间取得平衡。可持续发展,最终是要创造能够持久、并能长远造福人群、社会与自然的成果。
His interest in sustainability extends beyond environmental protection. To him, sustainability is fundamentally about balance and long-term thinking. It is about balancing economic progress with environmental responsibility, present needs with the wellbeing of future generations, individual aspirations with collective good, and material success with inner fulfilment. Sustainability is ultimately about creating outcomes that can endure and continue to benefit people, society and the natural world over time.
这样的体会,与儒、释、道的教导深深呼应。儒家重视德行、责任、诚信,以及家庭与社会中和谐的关系;佛家强调智慧、慈悲、正念,以及体认万物相互依存的道理;道家则主张顺应自然,拥抱平衡、简朴与生命自然的流转。三家各有独特的视角,合而观之,却共同提供了一个历久弥新的框架,指引人过上平衡而有意义的生活。
This understanding resonates deeply with the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism teaches the importance of virtue, responsibility, integrity, and harmonious relationships within the family and society. Buddhism emphasises wisdom, compassion, mindfulness, and understanding the interconnectedness of all beings. Taoism advocates living in harmony with nature, embracing balance, simplicity and the natural flow of life. While each tradition offers a unique perspective, together they provide a timeless framework for living a balanced and meaningful life.
这些教导,也深深影响了他的职业生涯。儒家的价值观,指引他以诚信、可靠与对社会的责任感面对工作;佛家的教导,培养他的正念、慈悲,以及在面对复杂挑战时兼顾多重视角的能力;道家的原则,则鼓励他保持灵活、谦逊,并明白可持续的解决之道往往来自顺应变化的因缘,而非试图加以掌控。这些教导合在一起,强化了他驾驭复杂局面、建立有意义的关系、作出平衡决策的能力,也让他专注于创造长远价值,而非追逐短期利益。
These teachings have also profoundly influenced his professional career. Confucian values guide him to approach his work with integrity, trustworthiness and a sense of responsibility towards society. Buddhist teachings cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and the ability to consider multiple perspectives when facing complex challenges. Taoist principles encourage adaptability, humility, and the understanding that sustainable solutions often arise from working in harmony with changing circumstances rather than seeking to control them. Together, these teachings have strengthened his ability to navigate complexity, build meaningful relationships, make balanced decisions, and focus on creating long-term value rather than pursuing short-term gains.
身为参与可持续发展工作的专业人士,他看到自己的工作与心灵信念之间有着深刻的契合。可持续发展的理念,正体现了儒家对后代的责任、佛家「一切行为皆有其果」的体认,以及道家维系人与自然和谐的原则。这些视角,坚定了他的信念:负责任的守护,不仅是一项事业目标,更是一份道德责任。
As a professional involved in sustainability initiatives, he sees a strong alignment between his work and his spiritual beliefs. The concept of sustainability reflects the Confucian responsibility to future generations, the Buddhist understanding that all actions have consequences, and the Taoist principle of maintaining harmony between humanity and nature. These perspectives reinforce his belief that responsible stewardship is not merely a business objective, but a moral responsibility.
在职业生涯之外,所伟珍视自己身为丈夫与父亲的角色。他相信,家庭是品格、价值观与智慧得以培养的根基。人生许多最重要的功课,例如尊重、感恩、谦逊、坚毅与慈悲,都是在家庭生活中学会的。与孩子一同学习和练习跆拳道,更让他体会到纪律、韧性、不断自我提升与彼此支持的价值。这些经历使他更加坚信:成长是一段终身的旅程,而最好是与所爱之人一同走过。
Beyond his professional life, Toh Wee treasures his role as a husband and father. He believes that family is the foundation upon which character, values and wisdom are cultivated. Many of life’s most important lessons, such as respect, gratitude, humility, perseverance and compassion, have been learned through family life. Learning and practising Taekwondo alongside his children has further reinforced the values of discipline, resilience, continuous self-improvement and mutual support. These experiences have strengthened his conviction that growth is a lifelong journey best shared with those we love.
他相信,真正的成功,并不仅仅以职业成就或物质成果来衡量,而在于一个人能否培养良好的品格、巩固家庭的情感、对社会作出正面的贡献,并为后代留下有意义的传承。透过事业、家庭生活与心灵的修养,他期望活出一种以平衡、智慧、慈悲、责任与终身学习为指引的人生。
He believes that true success is not measured solely by professional achievements or material accomplishments, but by one’s ability to cultivate good character, strengthen family bonds, contribute positively to society, and leave behind a meaningful legacy for future generations. Through his career, family life and spiritual cultivation, he seeks to embody a life guided by balance, wisdom, compassion, responsibility and lifelong learning.
在儒、释、道教导的指引下,所伟持续追求这样一个理想:最可持续的人生,是一种活在和谐之中的人生,即与自己、与家庭、与社会、与自然的和谐。他相信,成就有意义人生的原则,也正是通往可持续未来的原则:以诚信行事、培养慈悲、维持平衡、着眼长远,并为后代的福祉贡献一份力量。
Guided by the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Toh Wee continues to pursue the ideal that the most sustainable life is one lived in harmony: with oneself, with one’s family, with society and with nature. He believes that the principles for a meaningful life are also the principles for a sustainable future, to act with integrity, cultivate compassion, maintain balance, think long term, and contribute towards the wellbeing of future generations.
「真正的可持续,不是停滞,而是修身。透过不断的省察、用心的践行与循序渐进的提升,我们让自己与生命成长的自然节奏相契合。一旦停止修养自己,便是逆生命之流而行。因此,可持续并非一个终点,而是一段以平衡、更新与蜕变为内涵的终身旅程。」
“True sustainability is not stagnation, but self-cultivation. Through constant reflection, mindful practice, and gradual improvement, we align ourselves with the natural rhythm of growth. When we stop refining ourselves, we move against the current of life. Sustainability is therefore not a destination, but a lifelong journey of balance, renewal, and becoming.”
