They are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.

The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Insignificant, is the loss of relatives, wealth and fame The loss of wisdom is the greatest loss. Insignificant, is the increase of relatives, wealth and fame The increase of wisdom is the highest gain. Therefore, you should train yourselves thus: We will grow in the increase of wisdom Thus you should train yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
