Becoming enlightened doesn't mean everything works your way.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you go into light for longer and longer periods, as you progress in your meditation practice, you transform, you become illumined, you overcome all limitation, all sorrow, and all pain. You learn not to be bound by desire, and eventually you transcend death itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I had been pretty well made a prisoner by school, by society. I had been given this description of the world that I couldn't accept.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is simply changing awareness. What you are reincarnating into are different states of mind. The whole show is on the inside.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are an endless conglomeration of awareness. You're not one singular self. You're a corporation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a way to open up the chakras, there is a mystical way. But if you do that, you'll get yourself into very hot water, and it's ultimately slower.
Frederick Lenz

Karma means changing planes of reality or changing fields of attention. There will be perhaps a resulting physical action stemming from the change of these fields of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are fighting against nothingness all the time by creating a series of shields that you call personality, life history, feelings, ideas, and ways of seeing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Will is guided by wisdom. Wisdom comes from introspection, looking inside yourself, probing, studying the wisdom of the teachers, the masters and bringing that into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are the samskaras, the tendencies from your other lifetimes, ways of seeing, habits that are so strong, they affect you now. They are the operative situations in your life that are created by karma.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Do not be selfish and feel new people will take more of the teacher's attention and you won't get it. That's nonsense. With that attitude, you won't get it. The teacher sees that attitude and will have very little to do with you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Put the mind in alignment with the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment and experience them in various gradations forever. That's the total purpose of a monk.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Men are suppressing woman politically, philosophically, socially, through denying them education, equal rights, equal employment, and just by setting up a description of the world in which a woman views herself as a vessel, as someone who's only there to have children, as someone who can't succeed, even spiritually.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You may have had countless lives, and many more stretching before you, and what else have you got to do with your time?
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's only illusions that destroy us. It's illusions that convince us that we can't. It's the illusions of the transient that tell us that all this matters.
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
The only bad meditation is when you don't meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can go through hundreds of lifetimes in one, and it all starts with daily meditation practice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What is enlightenment, anyway? I don't know if I can really put it into words, perhaps you can. I can't.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Search this world and find that being who you feel has the greatest light and become their apprentice.
