A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist

and the Dalai Lama.

( p6 w# G+ W2 [% X$ q" z
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,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

* a; N$ x# d1 c. h& ^I thought he would say:
" E  ~6 I: f/ K; o2 C“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
$ E0 c8 f& ]! e1 a! i% Lwhich 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.
# J' b: j/ y1 T9 g" U% q: e             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:

“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
0 J. q% c$ a& P% u“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.
0 \* s3 p; [" x, Z7 C% M It is a matter of options.”


Finally he said:
“Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.

and your Destiny will be your Life
… and …
. W+ J, C1 S2 V. R0 ?, @& ^“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
