A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
Leonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.
" M1 y& Q: t- @% Y0 G" h' D# |

, C5 R( a. i$ g! I2 ~. d' nIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
0 {2 }: d+ a2 F- s3 wand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
. J$ R- I2 v) Casked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
9 N/ O5 l1 [6 _$ s8 R8 {
I thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

0 W0 G9 n. ^& E Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
$ `4 C* ~: c, K: y4 U) ?/ Twhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
8 r& Z4 K2 S% v/ E& g5 |He answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”
2 p! `: \, c% i1 b
To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
$ g0 }8 [) c% q" m$ [) ~“What is it that makes me better?”
0 Y! p5 ]6 j# z1 }9 z8 Z9 q( v
% k9 ?- ~2 f( t) f! n& Q3 _; FHe responded:
“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,
     more sensible,
2 r* V- a! z; P4 g& ^     more detached,

! V7 s8 P2 i, P& T2 k
* Q% g% o( |: q+ h8 I$ U“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:

9 s& B( Z* Y$ r/ Z- U"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

3 H; j; Z7 [+ Z9 c0 K; i“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

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