I believe each human being has the potential to change, to transform oneโs own attitude, no matter how difficult the situation.
Dalai LamaConversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
Dalai LamaOnce we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result.
Dalai LamaIt is also possible within this lifetime to enhance the power of the mind, enabling one to reaccess memories from previous lives. Such recollection tends to be more accessible during meditative experiences in the dream state. Once one has accessed memories of previous lives in the dream state, one gradually recalls them in the waking state.
