你的宗教不重要

你的宗教不重要

達賴喇嘛尊者和巴西的神學家Leonardo Boff和有一個簡短的會談。 (Leonardo Boff 是一位宗教自由的改革者。) 在這個圓桌討論的會議上，我和達賴喇嘛都有參與，在休息時，我帶有敵意及興趣的問了他一個問題：「尊者，什麼宗教最好？」 我認為他會說：「是藏傳佛教或者東方的宗教比基督教還要歷史優久。」 達賴喇嘛停下來對我微笑並看著我的眼睛回答說：「如果一個宗教讓你更接近上帝，讓你成為一個更好的的人，那就是最好的宗教。」 這令我非常驚訝因為我的問題其實是含有敵意的。 這麼一個有智慧的回答令我覺的不好意思，於是我接著問：「什麼會讓我更好 ?」 他回答： 只要是讓你更有慈悲心 更有覺察心 more sensible 更有平等心 more detached 更有愛心 更有人性 更有責任感 更有道德感 能對你有如此影響的宗教就是最好的宗教。 我沉默了一會，就算到今天我回想起來仍然非常驚訝他充滿智慧及令人無法反駁的回答。 朋友，我對於你的宗教或者你有無宗教信仰不感興趣，對我來說你在你的朋友面前或是家人，及工作，社會及世界上的所作所為才是最重要的。 記住，這個宇宙是我們的思想及行為的投射。 因果定律不是只有物理學才有，那也是一種人際關係，如果我以善心來行動，我就會得到善報，如果我以惡心來行動，我就會得到惡報。 我們的祖先告訴我們的是真正的真理，你總會對他人有所渴望，但是快樂不是註定的事，而是一種選擇。 關照你的思想，因為他會變成語言。 關照你的語言，因為他會變成行為。 關照你的行為，因為它會變成習慣。 關照你的習慣，因為他會型成你的個性。 關照你的個性，因為它會成為你的命運。 而你的命運，就是你的人生。 沒有任何一個宗教高於這個真理了!

Your religion is not important His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff and have a brief meeting. (Leonardo Boff is a reformer of religious freedom.) In this roundtable discussion meeting, the Dalai Lama and I are involved in the rest, I am hostile and interested to ask him a question: "Venerable, what religion is best?" I think he would say: "Tibetan Buddhism or Eastern religions than Christianity but also long history of excellent." Dalai Lama to stop smiling at me and looked into my eyes replied: "If a religion brings you closer to God, so that you become a better person, and that is the best religion." I am very surprised because my question is actually hostile. Such a wise answer, so I feel embarrassed, so I went on to ask: "What will make me better?" He replied: As long as it is more compassion More aware of the heart more sensible More equanimous more detached More loving More human More responsible More sense of morality Can you have such a religion is the best religion. I was silent for a moment, even to this day I still surprised by his wisdom and is unable to refute the answer in retrospect. Friends, your religion or any religion not interested, for me, you are in front of your friends or family, and work, society and the world has done is the most important. Remember, this universe is a projection of our thoughts and behavior. Causal laws is not only physics only, it is also a kind of interpersonal relationships, if my kindness to action, I'll get a reward, if my nausea to action, I'll get to roost. Our ancestors told us the real truth, you always been eager to others, but happiness is not destined to do, but a choice. Take care of your thoughts, because he will become the language. Take care of your language, because he will become a behavior. Take care of your behavior, because it will become a habit. Take care of your habits because he will type into your personality. Take care of your personality, because it will become your destiny. Your destiny is your life. Any one religion higher than the truth.
