“The fact that you have the intention to work for others is important. Act on your wholesome intentions and altruistic impulses. If you have the thought of benefiting society, that is significant. Nurture and treasure that thought, and act on it as best you can. Doing so will certainly change you, and that in itself can be the start of the change you want to see in your world. – 17th Karmapa” CompassionBuddhismEnlightenmentAwakeningAltruismBodhisattva Book:The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out Source: The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out
“We need to let the heart lead. Compassion is indispensable; it is the single most important factor we need if we are going to have any real success in protecting the environment, in creating a just society, or simply in living wholesome, happy lives.” CompassionBuddhismAwakeningChanging The WorldSpiritual Transformation Book:The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out Source: The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out
