The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life. ✨ His Holiness The Dalai Lama (1998). Path To Tranquility, p.135, Penguin Books India
