Karma has always existed, as have you, I, and all things in this wonderful universe.
Frederick Lenz
We sought a tribal society, to be close to each other, not to sit behind a television with our families and not see our families, not just to watch the evening news and the inane comedies designed to pacify the multitudes, but rather to explore ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
I am the happiest person I've ever met. This is what Buddhist Yoga and a healthy dose of reading the Declaration of the Independence, The Constitution and the Federalist Papers and anything else I could get my hands on has given me.
Frederick Lenz
The things you see are real, but they are not a complete seeing - Samsara.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is not about being political. It is not a social club. Ashrams often turn into that, I know. Societies of enlightenment often just become cliques.
Frederick Lenz
Learn to accept the transitory nature of existence of the body and the mind see eternity in everything, this world, the other worlds, and nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
Frederick Lenz
If you were just you, you would be happy. But of course, you don't know who or what you are. So how can you possibly be happy? That is why you have got to study Zen...or something.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the freeing of ourselves from all mental states and concepts of self.
