$ H* X; F' i' Q9 O1 @9 p7 j
In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
1 e7 S, Y$ k* u' L3 N$ |# I3 }and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
  L- O) C5 S4 p: ]# aasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
% }7 u7 Z' \2 F* m1 |3 f# O
( R4 o. V6 T4 T, ~9 A4 ?/ bI thought he would say:
% j7 n, G# w1 b/ L* m' l“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

6 Y- c5 F9 }: j+ x% O5 L0 V0 Q Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
, X: t. p, w8 K5 I& c! Owhich 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.”
: G! J. K/ g$ T2 Z/ ^4 W; ~
% m8 f1 s- ^: vTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
, {' C6 o4 p8 k4 A- ^“What is it that makes me better?”

% w0 \5 Q! O! \$ ]6 Y; AHe responded:
“Whatever makes you
7 y8 I0 I+ V; {5 @- m5 S     more compassionate,
$ R) Y6 f4 e! F) v* E     more sensible,
  I3 J( e5 z6 H9 T& t9 \6 O' A     more detached,
     more loving,
     more humanitarian,
     more responsible,
     more ethical.”       

( m, i! Q; T! i  d“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
$ r9 e) g" E# ~, E- n
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.

“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
3 g6 W: d( E  `1 Y$ Z  d/ U6 j7 E
6 r& [9 ^4 Z& F3 C“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.
/ X5 c7 j% x) H! zIf I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
If I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

9 C6 `* `* a5 ?; g5 f5 V. XYou will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
! f' R. O+ a; z: J It is a matter of options.”


Finally he said:
& a  C9 j5 P/ }, S “Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
/ k  j+ a: y) k( WTake care of your Words because they will become Actions.
( I: G  e- e7 w$ e  O' u! @( uTake care of your Actions because they will become Habits.

" r; W7 z" P$ t6 B6 KTake care of your Character because it will form your Destiny,
and your Destiny will be your Life
… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
