' @  i, D; ]) \! S/ [, ^& E0 xIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
; d- z2 g5 e' |6 i; Aand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

7 D3 C2 r) G2 u% o) a4 A  }' Y& }I thought he would say:
# t, k8 x% C" Y. z“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

* V4 A5 n$ I1 p; P 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:

“What is it that makes me better?”

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

( |; ^* ~5 T) U  D2 ^4 [' ?% mI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
" W+ E# y8 I% Z: K; J3 E/ O( `7 C
"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

( \, ^* `9 M' `! z“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

9 D! M9 y" h% w" s2 G2 m“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”

Finally he said:
“Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.

Take care of your Habits because they will form your Character.
