8 A. f& [! k* e( E4 ^; U+ fIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,

He answered:

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

"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.”
