YOUR RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT (ZT)

A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
3 ?9 I7 V( |  x5 X4 m! Z) gLeonardo Boff
; v  o0 I6 T; W9 S2 ]8 y* xand the Dalai Lama.


In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

I thought he would say:
8 M: X2 j: \* i& P' c' L“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

He answered:

             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,

     more detached,
     more loving,

" d& f9 E. Z7 P1 s
“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”

I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:

"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
