More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Happiness does not come from external things as we're really taught as children. It doesn't come from Santa Claus. Happiness is from within your mind. Just realizing that will change your whole life.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine for a moment that you were God. Not God as a man or woman, but God as the awareness of all life. To be that in physical form is to be an enlightened person.
Frederick Lenz
The person who takes power will never be happy with those things they gain. They have lost their essential balance and innocence. And without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.
Frederick Lenz
You see, that's the fun of Buddhism. We do have a wild card in the deck that can't be explained, that changes value continuously, and that's enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Pick a profession that will give you enough money to give you economic freedom. It is nice to pick a career that really taxes your mind. Use your mind in new and creative ways. You will find that your mind will develop and become stronger.
Frederick Lenz
Their experiments caused them to destabilize the structure of the continent and thus Atlantis sank beneath the waves.
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
Every new movement or group of people who seek to explore awareness is considered a cult. The United States was founded by several cults. They felt that Protestantism had become much too lax, so they came to America and set up a hard line religious cult.
Frederick Lenz
Krishna suprises Arjuna. He says go fight, go kill. Do this because it's only play money. You can't kill your friends any more than they can kill you.
Frederick Lenz
Once we erase ourselves, then there's no eraser. There never was anyone to erase. We've awakened from the dream and the dream has faded.
Frederick Lenz
There are dark forces in the world that would have you believe that you can't succeed and that you're a failure and that you're evil and all this nonsense.
Frederick Lenz
In Buddhism what we seek to do is change ourselves into someone who's beautiful to be.
Frederick Lenz
We see signs of it perhaps for 28 das or 34 days, then it goes away. Yet we are different.
Frederick Lenz
Some of the films that I have really enjoyed include: The Fifth Element, The Crow, Toys, Seven, Forrest Gump, The Lion King, 12 Monkeys, Doctor Zhivago, Being There, and Trainspotting.
Frederick Lenz
In the world of power, people will come looking for you. If you're a movie star, you know what I am saying. People will come around you, little groupie types. They think that being around you they can get something.
Frederick Lenz
Everybody is in the waiting room of life. Yoga is not a waiting. It is a doing, today.
