Socially Engaged Buddhism
Where there is darkness, suffering, oppression, and despair I will work to bring light, hope, relief, and liberation. I am determined not to forget about or abandon those in desperate situations. I will do my best to establish contact with those who cannot find a way out of their suffering, those whose cries for help, justice, equality, and human rights are not being heard. I know hell can be found in many places on Earth. I will do my best not to contribute to creating more hells on Earth, and to help transform the hells that already exist. I will practice in order to realize the qualities of perseverance, so like the Earth, I can always be supportive and faithful to those in need.
