Forgiveness is the best revenge.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Words are a human way of trying to describe things. But they're much more of interference than they are a help in the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the esoteric teachings, a transference process takes place between teacher and student where knowledge is actually transmitted from one to the other. This requires that the student be receptive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I like Miracles. They inspire me. Miracles are the fun of enlightenment. When a teacher does a miracle, and everyone sees it, they have faith in what the teacher has to say about self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It takes tremendous self-restraint on the part of the student not to want to monopolize the teacher's attention, to live a very controlled life and a happy life, and of course, be dedicated to the cause.

Frederick Lenz

We don't always walk from one state of mind into another. We might just oscillate back and forth for a whole lifetime within the polarities of a certain state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Unconscious of the existence of Tao, beings live supposing themselves to be separate from the universal intelligence, supposing themselves to be powerful or to be weak, thinking that they live their lives and die their deaths.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It really doesn't matter to me whether a person has a lot of money or a little bit of money.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tantric Buddhists don't believe in sin. Stupidity, yes, meaning we make ourselves or others suffer.
Frederick Lenz
Image
With a teacher it is necessary to be sensitive to their directions most of the time they won't say much. You have to be still and silent to understand.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Mindfulness is paying attention to what is going on. Just look at beauty. Not just the beauty of things you see with your eyes, but beautiful feelings, beautiful awareness. There is no such thing as reality. Reality is what you make it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Yoga makes you free. It makes you happy. It gets you out of the traps that create human misery. It makes you vibrate faster.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Within silence all things are contained. What appears to our eyes to be life is but a thin curtain, a gauze penumbra, which stultifies our vision, which prevents us from seeing the truth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love is not reasonable. If we could assign it to the reasonable world, it would not be useful.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the Far East, it is taken for granted that the training of a monk is physically rigorous and academically challenging.

Search this world and find that being who you feel has the greatest light and become their apprentice.
