    One of the challenges in the practice of engaged Buddhism is finding the middle way between compassionate action and attachment to politics.

    From the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas, by Gyalse Tokme Zangpo (translation by Adam Pearcey)

    གཉེན་གྱི་ཕྱོགས་ལ་འདོད་ཆགས་ཆུ་ལྟར་གཡོ། །
    དགྲ་ཡི་ཕྱོགས་ལ་ཞེ་སྡང་མེ་ལྟར་འབར། །
    བླང་དོར་བརྗེད་པའི་གཏི་མུག་མུན་ནག་ཅན། །
    ཕ་ཡུལ་སྤོང་བ་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་ཡིན། །

    The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to leave behind one’s homeland,
    Where our attachment to family and friends overwhelms us like a torrent,
    While our aversion towards enemies rages inside us like a blazing fire,
    And delusion’s darkness obscures what must be adopted and abandoned.
