Frederick Lenz
Image
Eternity gives life to all and sustains all, transforms all on the wheel of dharma - until all attain perfection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Perception is the ability to be conscious of self and that which is other than self. Without thinking about it, a distinction is made between who we are and what we perceive.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you use your will all the time, then it runs out. You deplete yourself and then, when you really need it, it's not there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A categorization implies a hierarchical way of seeing things. Life is really relational, not hierarchical. Hierarchical is a human way of looking at things. Relational is much more the way things are. Everything is connected.
Frederick Lenz
