“There are four kinds of bodhisattva action. The first is generosity—just giving people what they need or want. The next is good speech—giving encouragement, confidence, and a persevering mind. Next is telling them about the Dharma and the way out of suffering. Finally, if they don’t listen, you must act together with them—together-action.

Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others
