In Tibetan Buddhism you work on treating all beings with compassion, and becoming a warm, kind, compassionate and benevolent person. My brother, bless him, was a Tibetan Buddhist and a registered nurse, who travelled to Tibet and China setting up clinics in rural areas. He also worked on Indian reservations here in the US, and worked without pay as a volunteer in New Orleans for two months after Katrina, when the city was still under lockdown. He worked at a tent clinic, taking care of the first responders. He was a very good guy. He saved lives, including the life of his Rinpoche in Tibet. The only reason I know he saved lives is because other people told me. He was not the type to brag. He just died three months ago from stage 4 metastatic renal carcinoma, and he died with a smile of peace on his face. The doctors and nurses in the hospital and hospice would just come visit him because they liked being around him, even though he was dying. I don't want to play the game of "who is the best Buddhist?" but that's a high standard to meet.
