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

1 R$ j, X& |' V) N- K  d9 {In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
2 ~$ k3 C3 W6 [and myself were participating at recess I maliciously,  and also with interest,
0 l$ T4 @  W( u1 J8 f) iasked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”

' p( d$ {& T) sI thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
$ o& M: `7 K, N& e" \" g
Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:
- U/ Y" O( B5 y( X, w) g7 t! E          “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God.
             It is the one that makes you a better person.”

To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
7 V" H# m6 ~0 T( b) o" v* C“What is it that makes me better?”
8 q8 O% L0 [7 [. P* h1 w) V

“Whatever makes you

  V% A; N; v( _: E0 y
" S# k2 `6 O! ?3 X“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:
