A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist

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?”
* k+ _2 F3 n2 v1 {8 E5 S7 A
I thought he would say:
' L1 s+ N5 h9 {7 c“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

; ^1 N' C% X! u6 F$ F# J( v% H Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
! H8 |% o6 V  H0 fwhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

7 r6 ^. U" N5 V0 D( e- jTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

& @  K1 m! |5 \He responded:
“Whatever makes you

“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:

“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

  w; x' E) N( Z( s“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
