7 Z1 {; W4 J0 gIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
8 p' P: |  l; P2 N- F" U8 B0 uand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
* T% {# P) [" t: \9 t' Lasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

5 Y# w7 p! X( K# t7 FI thought he would say:
; @* s  M# ?. e/ Y: _“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

2 n7 O. Q8 K/ _7 z$ i Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
' B; B1 D! ?- E% x0 EHe answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

. j+ _; E0 c* g/ a/ pTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

% j( r6 ]9 J# cHe responded:
: O/ y7 A' Q9 ?! L“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,
     more sensible,
: b& U( c$ Z8 \2 l! R4 O$ a     more detached,

& E2 ?# J% G5 [“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.
4 E0 h5 i, h; @" i6 j/ t. s
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
: n; V8 L) `4 Y: @. N" y
“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
7 ^; k4 H  [6 |/ `" r$ \3 w* m“The law of action and reaction is not exclusively for physics.  It is also of human relations.
. o2 s+ F" G1 p+ X" l# iIf I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
If I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth.
' H7 N; o2 X, ]6 hYou will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
- [- V2 M. c9 v; i It is a matter of options.”

" C3 U0 D: I# {$ n7 M) W( u
Finally he said:
“Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.
Take care of your Actions because they will become Habits.
