A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
Leonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.

6 E, q4 h* k' b0 NIn 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:
2 t/ A  C1 v, T8 ~5 C“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
3 K! e. N* u& g4 E. nwhich 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.
( O7 ~0 d4 g7 r( \, N# F             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

: ~1 u4 W( n. d9 x1 wTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

“Whatever makes you

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

# ~0 n/ h! O0 G1 ~! k  N) yI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
