I thought he would say:

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
/ W# l# ?6 t" U8 ~: uwhich 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.”

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

I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
" G, D* o9 a+ _# L) `5 R4 c

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

/ N( e" d7 D$ ?, O5 U2 D" M“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.
5 r7 p, N4 Z; z: O" o' _6 S  O' l# pYou will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
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.
