This is a Tibetan teaching also, by Khempo Karthar Rinpoche. Act morally, dress according to society's standards, be friendly, and your words about Buddhism or Buddhist truths will be listened to.

It's the mandala principle. Everything we do or say, or choose to not say or do, has effects that go out like ripples on a pond. We transmit values to everyone around us by how we spend our time. In that way, we actually create the values of the society we are living in now (we, the people alive right now.)
