Rinpoche made the following comments about developing clairvoyance, with regards to detecting destructive intentions.

I think the United States and other countries need to develop clairvoyance, and the power of seeing beyond what ordinary people know, which is very limited, so that they can use it for their protection. However, even if the clairvoyance is highly developed, it is still not always possible to protect against destructive, dangerous situations. But without clairvoyance, the mind’s power is not able to see beyond what ordinary people see. Without that clear mind, that higher power of the mind, people can cheat and harm one in different ways, like in the case of September 11. The terrorists had been studying and practicing for a number of years, and finally they did the act, which was their aim. Everything had been disguised. So, if you were able to read their minds, you could know their ideas and plans. It is difficult to rely on external protection. The most important thing is the power of the mind to be able to see how people are planning to harm the world, like terrorists.
