I like engaged Buddhism as a concept as it reaches outwards to help others without expectation of return.

The key to any religion,I think, is to extend outward without expectation, or with our an agenda other than to do good (Altruism).

Extend outward...hmmmmm makes me think of.....
I respect your depth (without degree yet fully engaged in introspection and devotion to duty). I can also respect the engagement of the monks in Myanmar and the Rimpoches of Tibet.

My own current engagement comes from a few visions I have had that relate to upcoming events (potentialities - if you prefer). A regional Middle East war is not the way unless we are ready for massive (global) death, destruction, famine and pestilence. The four horsemen are a powerful metaphor that will radically change Israel, Iran, Europe and the U.S. I pray for the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormouz, theirs is a very scary future.
