I'm no Buddhist, but I appreciate Zen.
To questions of "how do we save our people from modernity" the Zen master would hit you with a stick and say "not enlightened" or "chop wood, carry water", meaning get on with the task in front of you and the question will dissolve. This could have been said by the author of the Havamal.
You know you need to have a good sized family and live for your community before yourself. Start with that and then move on to the next thing.
It's not grandiloquent or romantic, but great things have humble beginnings. It's the greatness that honours the beginnings, not the other way around.
