In an interview on his last visit to the United States, the Dalai Lama was asked the question "Which, in his opinion, is the best religion in the world?" It was clear the cheeky question was one meant to put the Dalai Lama on the spot.
The reply from the wise monk was this. "Any religion that brings you closer to God is the best religion for you."
I am inspired by that.
On another occasion, the Dalai Lama has this advice for his followers.
Take control of your Thoughts, for they form your Words
Take control of your Words, for they form your Actions
Take control of your Actions, for they form your Habits
Take control of your Habits, for they form your Character
Take control of your Character, for they form your Destiny ...
I (try to) live by that.
