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,
+ U( z" B! B! W+ o2 x1 q4 \+ Uasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
# R6 P  K1 ~$ [0 f0 k5 k( _0 V
I thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
' s; q3 Z2 |# F, }; d
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:
" U2 t- k6 n3 b          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
" p/ b2 F1 I' ]4 p/ O( U             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

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.
" \% o* K9 z7 }7 i) x
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
# r# o% p2 g1 r
“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
“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.
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.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
) f2 T( g" l4 d5 F It is a matter of options.”
