In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
" A1 s4 `: r8 _1 b9 M3 @  V6 uand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
: @5 B' Y( b6 y3 G* ?7 dasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

9 Z5 R# g; {( E. o) mI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

8 }, ]# }' X+ y4 P/ p3 `; tTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

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

& }3 ~7 W6 c( R* C1 PI 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.
