8 x9 e% D# ]3 O' r' X4 FIn 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?”

1 h8 r' W; c6 Y7 {* k' QI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
6 y! K. @- a6 Owhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
/ O. r: h# O: l" }He answered:
          “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?”
