* @7 w; G' Y& N. Q, {2 a+ 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,
7 u6 g  W+ F2 ~# [: a; casked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
3 E( b0 W0 \, A. q# X
; W2 t9 o8 Y5 y1 }/ VI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
( H& {. C. `% v  M
Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
6 v. H) {8 T' Q2 l) u: h/ AHe answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

0 M. E1 R8 u" gTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
“Whatever makes you

1 X1 V" Y  w0 }/ t" x2 v" y8 W0 ]+ pI was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
  g; o! d! n) N1 I
"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
5 e& Y* X3 L5 W
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

( F; j. ]* I$ {% d; B6 h* v“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.

You will always have what you desire for others.

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

… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
