* Q5 Q( g* Y7 p( |5 o2 i! cand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

I thought he would say:
; O6 b- U& q! K; |3 C“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

$ x; d" z# @5 \& _1 K1 W 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:
+ x- D- B% ~* X* R, [          “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:
“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
3 v- b: V" S, U) g- k5 D“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,

( d8 E* M2 l- H7 A# a7 a“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”

I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:

"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
5 y3 e) q; B$ d9 d! W
9 H1 ^3 [5 d( j3 t1 l8 i“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
5 M" J. P3 i, T
7 z( O4 q7 B  e“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.
If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
9 u/ r8 W5 L* d1 K# OIf I act with eviI, I will get evil.”
