A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
) |8 x. y! s. M$ K1 O- J" PLeonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.
; C$ ]# e* l% f- j' p7 `3 u

In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
! s! h; q9 E/ r1 g7 h, ^and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

7 G; w$ f0 {$ I2 K" a; ]I thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
( |4 A5 T) m( o5 N" W
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.
: q: S. H2 @! R             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
/ m3 ], q# Y0 i8 X7 B) s( L“What is it that makes me better?”
  F) i. s. z. e) b& F' c+ U0 n; n
He responded:
  ]1 M5 Z$ l( i( c3 n9 X4 M“Whatever makes you
  P6 R( E+ E7 A) F     more compassionate,
     more sensible,
, q7 c) {9 Y3 y" w+ [2 `# V3 ]     more detached,
     more loving,

: ?, _0 ^1 c6 N. f3 U9 s4 O“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
. F) t) m) L" M$ M9 k8 ^0 u
I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
5 J) P- x, u9 q, B4 [
"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

: v- A. v. ~, x# v& P: W* E* h; `9 ~“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

% ~3 K  l. h5 {“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
6 q) n$ G% _) x' f3 v“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.
. }) p& ?8 A: O8 S! n( F9 |If I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth.
You will always have what you desire for others.
, e0 ^- K* G( FBeing happy is not a matter of destiny.
, P) N4 a& C4 w/ z It is a matter of options.”


Finally he said:
“Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.
9 c& b) f' P& e3 G! qTake care of your Actions because they will become Habits.
' V, S) X- N8 I# a' a4 i0 ZTake care of your Habits because they will form your Character.

and your Destiny will be your Life
% {3 L# W' X+ h% _7 r$ I6 G… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
