A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
Leonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.


% E& R& m9 }8 m% O1 g1 v5 i: _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,
% @( {* m* K) vasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

I thought he would say:
- [; ]! G' j1 ?0 I. O2 S, ^+ ?“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

0 J2 L: Y# e* S4 @  I% E* H Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
9 R9 l5 y$ b) m' X( ?7 C( p/ AHe answered:
( r# u* G; I  n: z' [  Z7 c          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

4 M5 ?8 N- A. Y* I+ y! U" Z2 H5 hTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
1 |. ]4 f9 V2 ~% s“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,
" n0 G4 a# V2 S, f! g     more sensible,
6 p3 W) g( t7 f; Q! S     more detached,
     more loving,

     more ethical.”       
, S; q* Q  l2 t+ A' V
3 V+ G, w  c6 c“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:
% x; n2 N) V- O9 e
"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
2 [; f" O& z5 A1 m8 P
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
+ }1 i2 ]0 J, N, u: Z! V) g
“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our  thoughts.”
( m( h4 F$ i7 X“The law of action and reaction is not exclusively for physics.  It is also of human relations.
( F# C& j0 S5 ?- ?8 W2 z/ pIf I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.

You will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
1 V/ [% G# W8 O9 F0 p( X It is a matter of options.”
3 R- W; `7 m# ]9 Y7 k, y; z! N

6 ^5 W7 H9 l7 `5 }; sFinally he said:
6 A2 w' _6 G, ]- y8 p, L2 K “Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.

“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
