Humanity is in need of a religion that does not create a dream of a fantasized next-life or for providing some dogmatic ideas to follow, which is a practice in which people surrender their human intelligence often resulting in them becoming a nuisance to their fellow beings.
A religion should be a reliable and reasonable method for people to live here and now as cultured, understanding beings, setting a good example for others to follow.
Many of the world's religions turn humanity's thoughts away from themselves towards a supreme being. Buddhism, on the other hand, directs people's search for peace inwards to the potentialities that lie quiescent within them.
The Dharma, the Buddha's Teaching, is not something a person finds outside of themselves, because in the final analysis people are the Dharma and the Dharma is people.
Therefore, a complete religion, which is Dharma, is not something outside us that we acquire, but the realization and cultivation and development of the wisdom, the compassion, and the purity one has within oneself. `
