YOUR RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT (ZT)

A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
Leonardo Boff
: ^3 v. E9 M% I" c; o5 cand the Dalai Lama.

+ O+ W# c: d# u% A' A: QIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
) [* \5 O4 M/ x" r2 V) |9 pand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
6 z) Q3 B, G$ M, n7 Qasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
: K% X' o( S* Q; y: o
2 \( O- J' V/ U7 H- T; S, kI thought he would say:
& z& Z/ D( I4 X1 n$ I5 D" Z, o* O7 K“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”
* D9 s& o5 P* B
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 sensible,
     more detached,
# e0 |6 }( J: t     more loving,
8 N2 Y/ R, w9 d: W     more humanitarian,
: N/ R/ S0 S/ G8 a2 c7 E     more responsible,
/ m- t; u! }- R* k. t& r) k     more ethical.”       

“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”

6 j2 [. R1 X  o: ~3 E+ zI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:

. P6 X8 h7 l& T7 S"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
- q3 f. E# \" v7 V* B) @; h
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
4 j( r, o* ^8 x9 ?
+ j; k- T  {( }“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
2 o- c, r- `% o“The law of action and reaction is not exclusively for physics.  It is also of human relations.
If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
" |# x+ o( V. Q# D7 Y: ^2 ~7 DIf I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
It is a matter of options.”


" W. M+ F) j9 d% }% d* L7 |Finally he said:
" h' t$ _0 k0 d- m# @3 J “Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.

“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
