"It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act. There are two aspects to action. One is to overcome the distortions and afflictions of your own mind, that is, in terms of calming and eventually dispelling anger. This is action out of compassion. The other is more social, more public. When something needs to be done in the world to rectify the wrongs, if one is really concerned with benefiting others, one needs to be engaged, involved." The Dalai Lama
This beautifully explains the motto of the Advance Humanity Foundation: Change yourself. Change your world. As we are developing our organization we are organizing our activities around helping people change themselves through inspiration and personal growth and then change the world through projects and donating their energy and resources to good causes. I think that's what's so attractive about sayings like, "Become the change you seek in the world," it is easy to understand and apply to our lives.
