Love is something that we don't control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn't have a lot to do with enlightenment.

Reincarnation is the dissolution of the self. It's like going swimming in the ocean, no one ever comes out, because one has become the ocean.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People have power and it is very important to respect that. Everybody's had thousands of lifetimes, and who knows what anyone has learned in a lifetime ... respect not fear.

To simply see a teacher to gain power is a mistake. You'll gain the power, but with the current mindset that you have you'll probably create more unhappiness for yourself than happiness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If I used justice, you'd all be dead. The karma that you throw at me when you don't like me - if I just let it come back, you'd all be destroyed in no time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No one's lazy. What we would call the laziest person on earth expends a tremendous amount of energy to not do things.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The world glows all the time. All of the things that you have come to understand aren't. The greatest thinkers in the world see very little compared to the enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life for most people is a bad dream. They live in pain, grabbing at what they can for pleasure. As they grow old, they despair. Things don't work out the way you planned.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Some come to a teacher for power. They still have all the desires, angers and jealousies of an unevolved person. Consequently, they become destructive both to themselves and to others.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a whole crazy world around you. You can't control it, so don't even try. Because the more you try to control your environment, the more it controls you.

Image
Buddhism suggests that you have that choice you are in the driver's seat. Hertz or somebody has put you there. You have an absolute choice about what you experience in your mind.

When there's nothing but humility, there's nothing but spiritual oneness.

Learn to be happy in any and all circumstances, whether you're experiencing pleasure or pain, whether there's loss or gain, whether the world loves you or hates you. Learn to be happy.
