Frederick Lenz
In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.

Frederick Lenz
I can go shopping and pick up some Bounty Towels, the three pack, I can go home and open those up and look at them and see more infinity than in the Buddha's best meditation. If I can't do that, that means I'm wrapped by the Buddha's best meditation.
Frederick Lenz
If you focus on another person you take their energy in your body completely.
Frederick Lenz
When there's nothing but humility, there's nothing but spiritual oneness.
Frederick Lenz
They just teach by their presence. They don't really have a message for humanity. It's irrelevant at that point. They're just a fluid, perfect embodiment of what we call the dharmakaya or the enlightenment of nirvana .
Frederick Lenz
The stars in the sky last for billions of years. That's nothing to the mind, nothing. It's an instant, a millisecond. The mind shines radiantly forever. But we don't see the shine because of the clutter.
Frederick Lenz
From age to age an enlightened person comes along, one who has made friends with God. They're usually forgotten or scorned.
Frederick Lenz
The ultimate intelligence of all things is your essence. Your mind is the universe. Your body is all things.
Frederick Lenz
Psychic beings are childlike, delicate and easily destroyed.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened teacher simply expresses enlightenment in their life by living. It is the student's job to gain the teachings. The teacher's job is just to be perfectly enlightened.
