YOUR RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT (ZT)

A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
6 `* ~, \$ `! ]& V; c8 C/ f7 NLeonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.


In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

( {) H4 N+ x8 b7 h- HI thought he would say:
( L" A( ~  d  ?+ s# H' K“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

1 A% m7 u' t, u. I& ` Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
1 i/ S1 t( Q* @; SHe answered:
- k5 [, L4 {* X          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
( g0 I# Z6 }7 X8 f. {/ V( Y“What is it that makes me better?”

4 J7 l- g+ k; _5 H3 D# D& G1 lHe responded:

     more compassionate,

3 d5 i( S8 ~6 d% a2 c) mI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
