Bill!, Mike,
Bill!, I don't have to teach *you* about words or etymology, but "religio"
comes from the Latin word, "to bind". To be tied to.
I think it's interesting that this is so, AND that "Yoga" comes from the same
word that "to yoke" comes from.
Bind; Yoke.
So I think the Dalai Lama understands and means that he is "bound" to kindness.
That seems a good "religion"!, in the old sense of the (root) of the word.
So... Jus' gimmee that old-time "_religio_".
If you wouldn't mind. ;-)
