The Work of Buddhism is to lessen the suffering of the poor

The work of Buddhism is to lessen the suffering of the poor:

"What is the original foundation of Buddhism? Other religions and the Buddhist religion are different. In other religions, the change will not occur, because those religions tell of a relationship between man and God. Other religions say that God created the world. God created the sky, wind, moon, everything. God did not leave anything left over for us to do. So we should worship God. According to the Christian religion, there is, after death, a Day of Judgment, and all depends on that judgment. There is no place for God and the soul in the Buddhist religion. The Buddha said there is suffering everywhere in the world. Ninety percent of mankind is distressed by sorrow. Suffering mankind should be freed from sorrow-- this is the basic work of Buddhism."    ~Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
