YOUR RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT (ZT)

A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
2 H5 I$ {5 E" T$ hLeonardo Boff
5 r! N" s! l1 }0 f+ Z; a( Gand the Dalai Lama.


( P) b1 E$ E* x% {4 G. `% @, vIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
$ i) i" y! Z, b( Pand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
) l! v# G( W# f" r# [asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
, s3 M& [) ?! Y9 m+ P% S6 [; J
+ }  j5 p2 Y1 @( \+ [! j1 UI thought he would say:
1 X" U9 G; R1 P# @1 L9 r$ r, i“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

( i7 u: A8 l; [) P$ `2 C Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
: b1 R! b- D0 {6 L8 @9 |He answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”
9 `- \' F4 E2 z
. N1 m/ _7 b& @# aTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”
/ x% x, ~7 X2 f% }0 d8 ?' p
/ Q& t- G/ u" b; A% R( r9 ?/ }9 ?He responded:
“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,
     more sensible,
- c) c1 S" `: R     more detached,
  i# l- G% \0 k$ p) |. W) F     more loving,

“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
! O; b+ s: D% d7 ~8 y
I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:

2 k1 W/ y7 C7 G"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
9 ]+ U" Z* j' E- C. W
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
; Z: T# ?; W* v% M; Q
5 N+ h4 Q) I" _“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.
4 |8 C1 L( ~; Z  y0 iIf I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
! [& z) M6 ^+ n0 o. p5 GIf I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth.
( S( o, g/ k% aYou will always have what you desire for others.

0 a1 ?' z' g1 \# Y. @! u3 E It is a matter of options.”

" z+ Y3 |( Z$ G6 |
Finally he said:
) r1 U$ f( [+ H, |$ a “Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.
Take care of your Actions because they will become Habits.
- \1 u! f3 p8 aTake care of your Habits because they will form your Character.
Take care of your Character because it will form your Destiny,
and your Destiny will be your Life
+ ?3 k* ]/ e" i4 @: l# i9 C, d2 W… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
