Spirituality: the best religion


The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God. It is the one that makes you a better person.

Whatever makes you
more compassionate,
more sensible,
more detached,
more loving,
more humanitarian,
more responsible,
more ethical.

The religion that will do that for you is the best religion.

I am not interested, my friend, about your religion or if you are religious or not.

What really is important to me is your behavior towards your peers, family, work, community, and towards the world.

Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts.

The law of action and reaction is not exclusively for Physics. It is also of human relations.

If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
If I act with evil, I will get evil.
You will have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny.
It is a matter of options
.

Take care of your thoughts because they become words.
Take care of your words because they become actions.
Take care of your actions because they become habits.
Take care of your habits because they will form your character.
Take care of your character because it will form your destiny,
and your destiny will be your life.

...and...

There is no religion higher than the truth.

~ Adapted from an interview to the Dalai Lama
