YOUR RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT (ZT)

and the Dalai Lama.

# }$ m/ O( K+ I! bIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
! H- O8 R: P( _/ J* q. R! {asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
  x) c5 q  r  ^: T; I& d
9 q- o& k0 B  H% S( `1 m$ k% w! NI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
1 l( K0 C$ f8 F/ w8 H. U
# W/ D0 ^2 f3 o; M 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.
9 C# L6 U7 f+ I8 l3 K* F9 k5 P& Z             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
4 _4 h: {. j! \! ?" L* P“What is it that makes me better?”

/ e( M4 F; H1 ]3 z1 ~He responded:
“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,
: ?1 f: E4 V" [# L% `9 }+ q     more sensible,
# M, g* m/ ]# L% r$ n% z+ n     more detached,
     more loving,
     more humanitarian,
" ^; P% L0 ]& v) W3 u. U     more responsible,
     more ethical.”       

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

$ F3 Y" ~% K1 QI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:

, J- }  ?1 @5 h6 m6 r3 ?"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

6 p; R' e' Q/ U6 |1 ?8 j' A“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
" V  t9 n9 m- p; E* h
2 U9 ~- i0 M) j8 h“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.
; s4 q9 \  s: d, o$ dIf I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth.
