YOUR RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT (ZT)

In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
& R* C3 [" D% x2 g8 Qand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

" j2 M2 }( R' G9 O! k* w6 l; OI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
) A& O( y+ k2 f# f0 k* K
Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
9 T9 i1 D1 `) Y. x, h) mwhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:
4 v2 U# }) G$ r$ G          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
( G; i. {' u; ~1 v) M' v             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
% m" G9 K; P8 A& Q9 M“What is it that makes me better?”
( H1 E9 q6 t& r! z! D9 C
He responded:
3 X# Y, y1 c) Q2 g6 Q“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,
     more sensible,
     more detached,
' G% H2 v' h+ P+ F# F5 I$ p     more loving,
     more humanitarian,

     more ethical.”       

! A, J+ [( M/ B: P( a“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
5 `4 O; i! l% F! C: \" a8 L
I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
  k6 k1 L: K8 e
6 }7 ^3 M. `5 C' D7 s6 g; j"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

( c  I) N6 N  b" c1 b) z7 y“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work,    community, and in front of the world.”
: K) W9 h; z/ z1 }/ b) L" n
“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.
7 n0 Y! R) k/ wIf I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
+ R' G0 {& D/ N: P2 J/ gIf I act with eviI, I will get evil.”

You will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
! P$ M* A2 U; z" Z  T  {  e5 p It is a matter of options.”


2 f+ f; `- W5 _) D( }3 BFinally he said:
“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.
$ C. [. O- S3 y" nTake care of your Habits because they will form your Character.
  p2 |+ Y6 \9 K! vTake care of your Character because it will form your Destiny,

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