2 H- F3 B  q2 p$ rIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
0 }" b+ X+ O' k1 S4 Vand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
5 k& Q; k7 ?# d/ }4 e: ?8 C$ iasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

$ N. v# Z! S* p& E" X+ TI thought he would say:
$ {1 I! Q3 v( j/ U: Y6 N( G9 {4 k- Y“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

9 z* a$ }- Q& S6 P; x7 S# B Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
7 Y( u4 ~# H# G5 M4 r5 z& ZHe answered:
# X+ _1 {6 U3 X4 _          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”
5 M/ n  h& L/ c' b% k1 l
To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
: T/ G& U' F1 D1 ~7 v“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
“Whatever makes you

“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
* r# I9 D; j; L) P
I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
- y( L4 t( O& p) S8 ^
/ D# R, `$ v+ h+ [! Y/ F6 _& a5 O) s4 E"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
