I wanted share some thoughts that have been troubling me with the hope of getting other viewpoints. I am new to Buddhism and by all account a neophyte. I come from a Christian background that emphasized evangelizing the gospel.

It is my understanding that Buddhists generally don’t evangelize…is that correct? But the Four Noble Truths are grounded in recognizing and understanding suffering. With this comes a development of compassion for all living things. So when I see other people suffering, I have the desire (craving?) to help them by sharing the Middle Way with them in hopes of ending their suffering…which I guess I consider evangelizing. Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Thanks for your thoughts.
