14. Anger against injustice is indeed Buddhism. As long as we fight for justice without harming others

and keep in mind to recognize the buddhahood even in those who perpetrate injustice, that is Buddhism.

In Buddhism, there is enlightened anger and unenlightened anger. Even when we experience unenlightened anger we are still Buddha, and if we recognize that and do our best to win over our negativity, then we are also still practicing Buddhism.
