" d5 [5 D, P/ F; ~( vIn a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
' W7 }) B/ j1 \  b& h; p- `4 Rasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
" ]  p3 M( x4 Z3 j0 D& K
I thought he would say:
# K0 E2 Z  O; e; U( ~! J“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
  u. d/ p. k- F
Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
' }- V& k5 t' E% I( W0 Owhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
- {4 q; Y/ c% L' hHe answered:
          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

8 x( M& u6 c' {- a8 B( {To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”

He responded:
1 ]' N( e8 j+ v5 `) j& @“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,

$ i! \" x9 `* O' l' e* @. @“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:
3 e4 D! W! `1 v# a' U# }
8 X# G+ H( o( G8 y% U"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

  {3 q7 L' K' v7 {2 h" S3 P“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”

" O( D* @) D: I& Y( a! M1 ~“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.
If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
If I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth.
You will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.

Finally he said:

… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”

“The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”
  Whatever makes you   
     more compassionate,
