If we are in a high enough state of consciousness we see that life is only a passing dream.

The study of Buddhism is essentially the study of modification, how we modify the state of mind we're in, how we modify the realm we're in.

The yoga of love is for those who want an all-consuming relationship with their teacher. They see the teacher as an extension of God, of eternity - which all of us are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is about breaking out of your ideas and experiencing life and not ideas.
Frederick Lenz

While I enjoy teaching people on the basic and intermediate levels to work them up to advanced levels, my real talent is for the advanced students. You could say that I'm like a ninth-degree black belt in martial arts.

Following dharma puts you in a proper field of attention. In a proper field of attention, regardless of what your outer circumstances are, happiness will flow.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The trap of the self is the trap that causes unhappiness. We define ourselves too much whereas the infinite, the pure radiant spirit, is not so definable.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I love so and so, how can I let go of them? You don't have to. You do whatever you chose. What you think, you become. Your thoughts are strongly affected by those you are emotionally open to.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can measure your power in your ability to stop thought. The longer you can stop thought, the more powerful you are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no such thing as completion. These are only stages in an endless progression. There are no final outcomes or decisions, since nothing ever stays the same.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everything goes through the cycle of birth, growth, maturation, decay and death. But all of this is an illusion. Everything we see is an illusion.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you gain control of the mind, you gain control of life and you gain control of your time. It all works together.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If the world does not shine brightly, even just the physical, sensual perception after meditation, you have not meditated. You have sat and thought of things that were not real.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Several hours later, I heard my mother calling me to come into the house, and it never occurred to me that this was an experience that other children didn't have on a regular basis.
Frederick Lenz
Image
One day you will arrive at a station on the train of existence that you've always known has been there. You'll find there will be no train in sight, with no sense of arrival. There is only a perpetual arrival, a timeless condition of infinite awareness.
Frederick Lenz
