Quote

Happiness does not come from external objects. It comes from peace of mind. You can be famous you can be a king, a queen, anything. It does not necessarily bring happiness or peace of mind. It comes about through following dharma.

Why don't more women attain enlightenment?

There is no loneliness when you meditate, you feel eternity. How could you ever be lonely? You just feel God's love for you and that sustains you. It's totally clear it's part of every aspect of your being.

How do you develop your psychic abilities? Well, to begin with, naturally, you have to want to and believe that it is possible.

What matters is that you meditate, you're seeking enlightenment, you're on the pathway to enlightenment, and you're having fun. Don't look for reassurance in the eyes of others. Look for reassurance in your own eyes. Only you know if Buddhist practice is improving the quality of your life.

I meet people who neglect career. Their lives aren't centered at all. They don't have much money. They have this spaced-out look in their eyes. Their chances for enlightenment are very small, unless they change the way they live.

Lao Tsu says the way of life is ancient, timeless. It is existence which he calls the Tao - a mysterious source, beyond understanding, and all of us are a reflection, if not that source of life ourselves.

If you thrive on the city energy it is necessary to leave the city frequently and to walk in parks, to get away from people. You are more sensitive than you realize. Find a spot that makes you happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Learn to let go. You do it a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't have to meditate. You don't have to practice self-discovery and Buddhism. You should only practice self-discovery if you really have had it with the human world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Many people spend their life always worrying about whether they have enough to cover expenses. They experience unhappiness.

We try to fulfill ourselves, even though our inner voice tells us to become all that we are - still, we run from it.
