I was just surfing around the web and found this group.
I am exstremely interested on any opinions or comments on this organization.
The point of humanitarian action and not paying the part of national taxes that go to the "war fund" seem quite interesting to me. As I would rather see that money go to helping people. And in conjunction with the first precept of not killing, in this way one wouldn't be funding the killing.
This group is acknowledged by the UN and the site says it's passport is accepted by 180 countries.
Here's a link

Everyday problems teach us to have a realistic attitude.
They teach us that life is what life is; flawed.
Yet with tremendous potential for joy and fulfillment.

If your path teaches you to act and exert yourself correctly and leads to spiritual realizations such as love, compassion and wisdom then obviously it's worthwhile.
~Lama Thubten Yeshe~
One whose mind is freed does not argue with anyone, he does not dispute with anyone. He makes use of the conventional terms of the world without clinging to them
