How to benefit the world?
i personally believe being happy is the key.
obviously you benefit yourself,
for others : if you are harming others can you honestly be happy? - i say "no i cannot. to make myself happy i try not to do harm to others" (note this does not require perfection, just intent.)
some people may say they can be happy about causing harm to others - i would doubt it is their genuine happiness except for a very few totally-insane people.
for those totally insane - well thats life. it gives us a challenge to overcome in a way that can still make us all as happy as possible.
p.s. this is somewhat related to my clan name - which is hopefully more light hearted and dogma-free.
