(Brief dialogue between Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff and the Dalai Lama)
in the range of a panel discussion on religion and peace among peoples, which involved the Dalai Lama and a server maliciously, but also theological interest, I asked in my broken English:
_ Holiness, what is the best religion? "What puzzled me a bit because I knew the malice in the question
and said: _
The best religion is the closest you God, the Infinite. Is one that makes you better.
expected to say: Tibetan Buddhism and Eastern religions, much older than Christianity ....
The Dalai Lama made a short pause, he smiled, looked me straight in the eye
perplexity to leave before a wise answer, asked
_
What makes me better?
He replied: _ That makes you more compassionate, more sensitive, more detached, more loving, more caring, more responsible, more ethical .... The religion that you get to do that is the best religion.
Silent, amazed, and even nowadays I'm mulling its response wise and irrefutable.
friend does not interest me your religion or whether or not you have religion. What really matters is your behavior in front of your neighbor, your family, your job, your community, before the world.
remember: The Universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts. The law of action and reaction is not unique to physics. It is also human relations. If I act with good receive good. If I act with evil, receive evil.
what our grandparents told us is the truth:
'll always twice that you want another.
Being happy is not about the destination. It's a matter of choice.
Watch your thoughts because they become words.
Watch your words because they become Acts.
Watch your acts because they will Usual.
forge Watch your habits because your character.
Watch your character because it will be your fate.
and your destiny is your Life.
There is no religion higher than Truth ...
