A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist
Leonardo Boff
and the Dalai Lama.

+ T5 A" [. L  o$ S# Y, {$ D4 A
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,
5 `5 ~; g) W7 j! }asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

I thought he would say:
+ }0 g% ]& N' W; j% I/ f. L9 H“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”

Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
7 }9 k" V- f, E( QHe answered:
4 W- d/ c+ B3 o/ t          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
; l8 m$ i$ e3 ]- F" \             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

; u1 O' A, ]( jTo get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
* Q7 M5 d! V7 n8 |& e“What is it that makes me better?”

“Whatever makes you

I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:

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