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,

4 s, y- U: k+ U, o2 B0 l5 b! W7 qwhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.

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

1 f4 V/ z) Y4 r% c3 yTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
“Whatever makes you

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