Quote

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.

Pilgrimages are journeys to places of power. People sometimes make pilgrimages to the caves where Milarepa or other great yogis meditated.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The thousand petal lotus of light, the crown center, really does not become operative until one is on the verge of enlightenment itself. Then you really don't have to meditate on it. The thousand petals gradually light up.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Samadhi is the highest octave spiritual light. Not the best, but the highest octave.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate deeply, you will see beyond life and death. You will see that you can't die and you can't be reborn. You are existence itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
On the pathway that leads to enlightenment, only your heart can tell you what is right.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life isn't complicated. The reason it appears complicated to you is because you are in a very distorted state of mind. That's the basic premise of Buddhism - that you're in a very distorted state of mind.

What you do affects your awareness field. When you do something selfless your attention feild is more clear, more lucid.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Phony gurus make themselves objects of adoration and worship. Real spiritual teachers aren't interested in adoration and worship. They like respect only because they realize respect will help the student.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think to be in a monastery or an ashram is not always the answer because we don't fight, we kick back. We don't listen to Sri Krishna.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your spiritual journey and your spiritual welfare are really dependent on two primary factors: One, your ability to meditate and two, your ability to give of yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When the time comes for a change, you will find it occurring without having created it yourself. You may think that you are the doer and that you are creating the change. That's nonsense.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Put a smile on your face. Don't sit in the waiting room of life. Go do something, happily.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Even sickness becomes an experience that we pass through in happiness because our happiness is not dependent upon how our body feels, but how our spirit feels.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is like taking a shower. You are going to wash all the dirt off that you have picked up since your last shower and be clean.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are ten thousand states of mind. The culmination of the states of mind you have gone through will create your next lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You must learn to meditate and stop your thoughts. You must overcome all egotism and selfishness by serving others. You must cleanse your mind so that enlightenment will find a happy place to reside there.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your reason is your friend. It defends the island of your awareness. But you don't want your reason to rule everything.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The dreams of the self are manifold and endless and they exist in all the myriad worlds and conditions that appear to have solidity. When you're dreaming at night, something seems very real, but when you wake up the dream is gone and so is all that apparent solidity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you think of others in a jealous way or if you become angry, immediately pause for a moment. It's going to pull you down and send negative energy. At that moment, pause and correct yourself.
