“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
! T$ ]* {2 p9 }" {: n2 {( K" pwhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:

             It is the one that makes you a better person.”
