You reincarnate forever because you exist forever. You can't die. You can't be born, your essence that is. You are on a big wheel.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Anybody or anything can become enlightened because enlightenment is the very nature of existence itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Once we've achieved perfect meditation, we're terribly trapped because that's an illusion...any enlightenment that seems ultimate is an illusion.

An enlightened person doesn't know it all. Enlightenment simply means walking beyond this and all worlds into nirvana, which is beyond knowledge and ignorance.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I don't think of myself as a guru but as a teacher. If one means 'guru' in the original sense a 'dispeller of darkness' then that certainly is my purpose.

The effort to lift one's self into perfect enlightenment is a profound thing. It has nothing to do with individual will. It's a refraction of the cosmos. The cosmos delights in itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is your causal body that is the real you. At the end of each incarnation, it carries the knowledge and karmic patterns of that lifetime, in addition to all of your other previous lifetimes, into your next lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The study of Buddhism is essentially the study of modification, how we modify the state of mind we're in, how we modify the realm we're in.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All happiness is inside your own mind. Chances are, you have not discovered that. Meditation is about experiencing the happiness inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment means that you're never the same. You move and shift as the quiescent state, in a body or out of it. And since the quiescent state is perpetual and endless ecstasy, therefore you are endless.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ideas that we have about self are an aggregate within a state of mind, and they chain us to a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We see a lot of people who decide to go out and teach meditation. They become so wrapped up in it that they stop progressing themselves and they really don't have that much more to teach.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is friendliness. An attitude towards life, a reverence for life. It is one of the highest of all ways.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism is the study of changing who we are, modifying or perhaps totally restructuring ourselves as perceivers.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At the end of the dream, on the other side of the rainbow, there's only light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Be still, Be joyous, Celebrate creation, preservation and destruction For these are the seasons of your life: Of your knowing and being.

Most people lead lives of frustration and disapointment. They enjoy temporary pleasures and long-lasting suffering.
