Leonardo Boff

$ V8 K' z. M; J) [: x7 q( a
In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
; w5 |/ _: l* w7 M$ wand myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
- {: q% S# w$ \" Y2 ^
I thought he would say:
7 m' Q/ v# I; X& v2 ?  A“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
( v# S2 O2 n- @  c" iwhich surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
1 v& _6 G9 K# a/ pHe answered:
: a$ H1 `- |  @& l6 O5 @          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
0 A- J1 i& }4 z. Q6 u             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

4 S  C% S& W2 z+ M3 z% ~( g% A0 tTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
# V/ g) g( Q* d, q% i“What is it that makes me better?”
. C0 z$ ?% O+ b- c
( C9 Z" c5 x# uHe responded:
“Whatever makes you
     more compassionate,

     more detached,
/ X/ _) I5 t: O8 V9 Y     more loving,

0 S' w4 ~- m( X& l     more ethical.”       

“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:
& U" ^) u" F; }4 i: r
"I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.

  I8 ?5 F2 s3 U2 s' V0 ~+ g3 e
“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.”
3 @3 k$ ]/ q9 g
“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.
It is a matter of options.”

“Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
