Quote

The spirit of the West, of America, is different than the East. The cultural conditioning is very different. It seems to be harder for people to work in teams, more difficult for people here to live in harmony, in a monastery.

If negative auric vibrations are not kept to a minimum by using psychic shielding techniques, and if they aren't cleansed from our subtle body through meditation, they will accumulate and eventually become very toxic.

Samadhi is the highest octave spiritual light. Not the best, but the highest octave.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is the pathway to enlightenment. Move the ego aside and be still, open, clear, bright and fully conscious.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility means freedom. It provides growth and takes you out of the cycle of change that you are currently in, which is stagnation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The aggregates that we pick up in the human plane will be washed away, and we will become pure spirit, pure light, pure love, and pure ecstasy.

Frederick Lenz
Image
As a student of enlightenment your attitude should not be to become enlightened. It should be to learn.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tantric Buddhism is just a collection of things that work by doing them. And sometimes we add new things. We have electronic music we did not have it in Tibet.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is good to take a weekend and just you, or you and your dog, head out into the wilderness. Walk by yourself. Be by yourself. It will help you in your search for stillness and perfection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You might as well be perfect. There is really not all that much else to do here that is exciting.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Meditation is something that is indigenous to the heart, which makes it hard to talk about. We don't necessarily need to talk about it too much other than to get a sense of the practice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Tantra is for a person who has reached a point in their spiritual evolution where everything looks the same.

Focus on the center of the chest, relax. Imagine a rose there. Feel it unfolding. Let yourself go and ignore your thoughts.
