+We Buddhists are supposed to save all sentient beings, but practically
+speaking, this may be too broad a notion for most people.  In any case, we
+must at least think in terms of helping all human beings.  This is very
+important.  Even if we cannot think in terms of sentient beings inhabiting
+different worlds, we should nonetheless think in terms of the human beings on
+our own planet.  To do this is to take a practical approach to the problem.
+It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily
+lives.  If we find we cannot help another, the least we can do is to desist
+from harming them.  We must not cheat others or lie to them.  We must be
+honest human beings, sincere human beings.
