4 v6 W- t; S2 N& pIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
3 |! ^5 t- O2 h2 Yasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

" X% G+ N% _) d1 s* W* Y3 G* OI 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.
3 R! _; c$ x8 Z" Q8 z3 l9 f& d0 @He answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.

5 v/ i5 h( Z/ g, Q, K
To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
9 X5 _) h* y1 B' X“Whatever makes you

“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”

  n$ ^$ _* i2 Z- v# }+ P% LI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
7 l8 E# w- D2 g
"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

* O6 `' `$ D4 C$ ?, b“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
