Leonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.

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?”

( T3 L" K7 I' L3 A% w- t+ J9 OI thought he would say:
' x  g# J0 \3 V4 z“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

" D# |+ F! z. B0 c% q+ j Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:
* @; \; \% ], B; s9 L0 z8 I          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

“What is it that makes me better?”
