Matthieu Ricard Happiness : A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important SkillQuote:
A late teacher of mine, Sengdrak Rinpoche, lived on the mountainous border between Nepal and Tibet for more than thirty years. He told me that when he began his retreats as a teenager, he experienced some very hard years. His emotions were so powerful he thought he would go mad. And then, little by little, as he learned the various ways of dealing with the emotions, he acquired inner freedom. Ever since, every moment had been nothing but pure joy for him. And it showed! He was one of the most simple, lighthearted, and comforting people I've ever met. I felt as if outward difficulties would slide off him like water off a rose petal. When he spoke, his eyes sparkled with delight and he gave such an impression of buoyancy that I expected him to fly off like a bird

Your pictures reminded me of some really amazing faces I came across a while ago and after lots of browsing I found them again. I think flickr pics are copyright protected, so I'm posting the link to some of my fav ones from Galibert Olivier - people in Tajikistan. I was fascinated with the diversity of the features of these people, also their beautiful eyes...

I really love the animal smiles - one could say it's all just anthropomorphism - but I guess, some animal smiles mean the same as ours do - wellbeing.

What the below one means is a good question, though - mockery? Rather not, or is it?

PS:how do i copy paste images so they can be a little bigger ??
Hmmm, let me see:
Edit: size test? Nope doesn't work! Tried adding [Img=100x200] and [IMG h=100 w=200], not working.

I just go on the pic from the net and right-click copy img url and then go here to pic-symbol and give it in over url - got to uncheck the little square there.
For posting my own pics in big, I upload them onto a free photobucket account - that's a great idea, if you want to post pictures.
It generates an [IMG] code and you can paste that directly in here without the symbol.
There's another thing - once somebody posts a small one somewhere on here in the form of an attachment, like you did VagalTone- I can click on it, to see it big, and then again right-click copy img url and enter it over the symbol:

Now that's what you call a perfectly timed photo!
Moar smiles please!
Ahaha! The hedgehog once more - I am afraid it is a cuddly toy - but that doesn't render it's smile any less cute, acatalephobic! :tongue:
And the sky-smile is gorgeous!!
