It is also possible within this lifetime to enhance the power of the mind, enabling one to reaccess memories from previous lives.

Dalai LamaI love smiles. That is a fact. How to develop smiles? There are a variety of smiles. Some smiles are sarcastic. Some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles.

Dalai LamaAnger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster.
