Frederick Lenz
You are drained by foolish actions and others.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is the study of power initially. It takes a certain amount of power to even know your potential - to have the sense that you can change the way you perceive.
Frederick Lenz
Some people just chase the glittery stuff and they have no substance to their life whatsoever. Actually all they really want is power. But they pretend they're interested in enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
None of this matters a bit. Yet, of course, it matters at that moment. So we try to be mindful of the moment but it's fleeting.
Frederick Lenz
The advanced student of meditation takes an active part in supporting the work of their teacher. They happily work more hours or do whatever is necessary to help out more.
Frederick Lenz
What the enlightened person sees no one could ever tell or describe. Wonder beyond belief. We live in a universe filled with wonder. It is wonder just to live.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is all about secrets.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is part of one web, one matrix of existence, beyond discussion. This is our true self in its undifferentiated form.
