1 m, T" z+ w- Y- LA brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
Leonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.


In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
  ?1 o) R7 J7 n" n. J! M. l$ tand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
* _+ G# _6 q: w7 }/ @1 y- s0 v; masked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
& S1 I% X/ u3 `2 a
$ e0 D6 r" ?; g, F$ YI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

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.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:

2 y0 Q: ^2 p0 A2 q/ JI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
