In my travels, I have found two peoples, the Tibetans and the Fijians, who don't seem to have this problem. Their closeness with their environment, their religions, and their relationships with each other and nature make them feel part of everything.

Image
A time comes when it isn't enough to read about Buddha, we wish to have that happen to ourselves. That's when we move from the exoteric to the esoteric, from religion to mysticism.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All of the universes are but phantoms, mirages, and while they have their own essence, their own pantomime - they pass forgotten.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment occurs when your mind merges with nirvana, with what Tibetans call the Dharmakaya, the clear light of reality, which is the highest plane of transcendental wisdom and perfect understanding.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhists don't feel that enlightenment is particularly unusual. We feel that it's the natural state. Enlightenment simply means perceiving life directly as it is in all of its infinite, ever changing wonder, in all of its varied, myriad states of mind or as pari-nirvana, or whatever.

Instead of your ego directing you and making countless mistakes, allow yourself to be guided by the invisible principles of the universe within your action.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The dream appears to be real. It does really seem we are here in this world but this is not so.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To not follow the dharma, either intentionally or through lack of awareness, creates a very low level of attention. In this low level of attention we make all kinds of mistakes and we are unhappy no matter what good fortune befalls us.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's necessary to respect all other ways and other teachings on the subject because even though they may not make a lot of sense to us, they might to someone else. Who are we to say?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Alow immortality to work through you. Be but a mere instrument. And that instrument should be so absorbed in the perfect perfection of existence, that it knows not even that it is absorbed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person who doesn't dress well, who doesn't spend time and attention with their physical being, has a very loose being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher is someone who has taken their mind much further than you have. They've gone into the void further. They've seen the luminous realities. No one has seen them all...but they've seen more than you have and they understand the trap of self-reflection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
For men, it's necessary to push aside that marvelous ego that tells you that you are all knowing and capable, and see that you are not.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Many souls thrive on the life force of others and you are lunch!

Image
What is evil? There is no such thing. In Buddhism we don't recognize evil and therefore we don't give it any power over us.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We erase ourselves we go away. But we don't really go away, and we don't really erase ourselves, since we were never there to begin with. We weren't there to begin with in that what we are, or conceive of ourselves as, is a perception.

Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You work many hours. It is the major activity of your life. You can lose a lot of energy or gain a lot of energy from it. Put your full attention into it and do a good job, because it is part of your impeccability.

The network of enlightenment is a very wide network. It's not relegated to a simple type of being. It's not the network of the goody-goods.

A well known Los Angeles newspaper referred to a small group of gentlemen who live up on a mountain and practice Zen as 'the Zen cult'. The cult phenomenon is definitely journalistically 'in'.
