Quote

You can just stay in oblivion, going through your days and your life and your experiences, staying with your friends, family. If that suits you, it's good. But for some people, it's not enough.

Image
Selfless giving is a choice. The primary choice we make is not what to give, how to give, where to give. What we are trying to do is become perfect givers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Deluded beings think that if they get in a battle with a Zen Master or with a Don Juan, that it's going enhance their life if they win. You can never take power from someone else any more than you can take sunlight.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are not anyone or anything in particular. You are awareness itself. You don't have a particular form. You contain everything or you are contained by all things.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All of the universes are but phantoms, mirages, and while they have their own essence, their own pantomime - they pass forgotten.
Frederick Lenz
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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most persons spend their lives stuck in relatively low states of mind. In these states of mind their views of themselves and the world around them are often severely limited.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's as if all your past is written on the blackboard, and if we could erase it, your past would no longer exist. The way you do that - the only way you do that - is in samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Who needs to go the horror movies? Just go outside or turn on the TV. Buddha called it the nightmare of the day. Welcome to incarnate experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Please act in and through me. Please let my love increase, if it is your will. I feel that's the right thing but even if it's not the right thing, I'm willing to abide by your judgment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the Far East, a peasant has no problem that someone can be born from another universe into a human body, walk up to their hut one day and ask for something to eat and transport them into infinite galaxies of awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Will is developed in meditation. It is refined. It is within you, but you don't know how to get to it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Examine everything that you've been taught, not simply what you've been taught in school, but the images that have been held up to you since the time of your birth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is perfect, it glows.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The enlightened teacher is someone who has become absorbed in eternity. While they may have a body like others, the essence of their being is light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nature is the endless reflective pattern of existence in eternity. As I sit here watching the leaves and watching their patterns, I'm reminded of so many things I've seen in other planes and in other worlds.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tonight is not the end of the world. This is our hot tip of the evening.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't condemn yourself - that only increases the hold of impurity. Accept your limitations but know that you're working towards changing them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The transcendental light permeates your being and washes away impurity. All those different selves which are limited and binding and hurting are washed away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Just as the subtle physical body holds together the physical body, the causal body holds together the body of awareness.
