Which is the best religion? Why me?

Which is the best religion?

The Dalai Lama, the Tibetian Buddhist semi-god replied : "Any religion that can make you a better person". This is an incredibly intelligent reply and it impressed me very much. Each person have their own backyards, their unique roots and their upbringing. Some religion influenced you when you are young and some is by virtue of their parent's religion and applying the rule , once in, always in. Sound like the Socso Act of Malaysia.  Everybody should be given the chance to choose or change to suit their personality and character and to exercise their intelligent quest.  There should be a freedom to worship by each individual and by choosing a religion that makes them a better person.

Sometimes we wonder, is religion is so important ? My answer would be No. Religion is not important and how we live , behave , talk  and think is of upmost important.  The basic belief is that if we cannot help others, we should not harm them. We can do anything except that we cannot harm ourselves or others. We should do good, be good and goodness with be with us always.

Alot of people asked why me when something bad happens and this is a very difficult question  and all the religion have their own ways to explain it. But, I would say that there is no answer to this question because it just happen.  The Buddhist have the law of Karma to explain these happenings. If you sow good seeds, the plants give good fruits. But, sometimes, you sow good seeds and nothing grow. So, we should not hope for good rewards for every good deeds.  Just do it out of our heart and expects nothing.

This thought have been bothering me and I just want to share it with you, folks in transit.

Namaste.
