Frederick Lenz
Most disease is psychic occult attack.
Frederick Lenz
I understand your higher and lower tendencies. There is something beyond all of this nonsense. There is a wonderful glitter that you can follow in life.
Frederick Lenz
C. S. Lewis, Plato, Aristotle and many more names that I could add, including Einstein's, were individuals who were able to see the innate order in life, which others perceive as chaos.
Frederick Lenz
Spiritual balance is the principle that allows the mind to be still. You cannot expect the world to settle down, everything to work out, in order for you to be happy. You have to get control of your mind.
Frederick Lenz

Let the rain of unhappy and tragic experiences fall, as sometimes it inevitably must, even in the lives of the enlightened masters. If your mind has become one with nirvana, you will remain happy at all times.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
If you use your will all the time, then it runs out. You deplete yourself and then, when you really need it, it's not there.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism isn't about temples, and incense, and shaved heads, and robes. It's not about church. There are aspects of Buddhism that involve that. People enjoy that, it helps them, it strengthens their practice.
Frederick Lenz
I took the liberty in Snowboarding to Nirvana to do a type of parody of what I suppose you would call New Age fiction.
Frederick Lenz
Not to follow the dharma leads to disaster. Life will be unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
Power is everywhere when you can see it and find it. It is nowhere when you can't.
Frederick Lenz
It is is easy to smile. It is an act of self-giving. When you smile you are at your best and you give that best to others.
Frederick Lenz
While all the things you believe and know exist in their own right, they're ways of looking at existence, but existence is infinite - it's beyond all ways of looking.
Frederick Lenz
Changing the way you dress can make it easier to make deeper changes in the structure of your personality.
Frederick Lenz
When you stop all thought, the battle is won. Everything is still and peaceful. You will come to see the eternal voidness of all things. You will see that nothing is, really.
Frederick Lenz
Occasionally, in each age and in different lands, a Buddha is born, that is to say, an enlightened person...they re-codify the ways, the practices, they make changes that are just intelligent changes that adapt to a new century, a new culture.
