The idea that reincarnation means all beings eventually reach enlightenment is not true. Life does not have a fixed purpose. It just is.

Sit down, keep your back straight, relax and have an object on which to concentrate you might use a candle flame, a brightly colored rock, a yantra, which is a geometrical designed specifically for the practice of concentration.

Image
A walk in the woods can reveal many things, and it is a good time to practice transcendentalism. Look at a tree and realize it's not just a tree, its roots may go into the ground but it may also go into other worlds, other eternities.

It is the Buddhist belief that at every moment the universe is not only dying but being reborn.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.

Image
Love yourself even when you don't measure up to your own expectations. You have a certain idea of what you should do and what you should be - it's only a silly idea that passes through your mind.

I saw Forrest Gump several times. I personally thought it was Tom Hanks' greatest role and I think it was one of the most eloquent love stories of our time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is only one prayer and that is prayer for light, for purity, for perfection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I am a teacher because teaching allows me to observe the universe at work, that moment when wakefulness suddenly occurs.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have to be very, very careful not to pick up too much of the lower energies, the toxic energies, because they'll make you very ill. They can kill you. They can cause cancer, debilitative diseases of all types.
Frederick Lenz
Image
With the practice of meditation you can move into other states of mind, sort of ungluing the glue that binds you to a particular perceptual mode, a way of seeing life which is an illusory one.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The world has always been this way. I am sure in the mystery world of Egypt, ancient Atlantis, you pick a cosmos - There is always somebody on your case.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you can develop a connection, what we call an inner connection with the teacher, then it is not even necessary to be in the physical presence of the teacher, although it will always be stronger.

Nothing is as it seems - This is an illusion.

Enlightenment is an ocean of awareness that slides through the human part of us and dissolves it, and leaves us forever in eternity.
