What we seek to do in Tantric Buddhism is to liquefy ourselves. Life will automatically bring us to the next stage. You don't really have to know where you're going - It's like breathing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no evil, there's no bad there's no good. These are human ideas. There's no creator, there's no creation there's no God, there's no nirvana, there's no perfection. These are ideas.

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.

Image
A better name for nirvana might be endless love. Love not even in the sense that we see it if we're watching the romantic movie, but love in a sense of no absence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I know some teachers say that you shouldn't display the psychic powers and other powers referred to as the siddhas, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter. There are no absolute rights or wrongs in spiritual practice
Frederick Lenz
Image
To have the detached eye of the occultist, to look outward, to not be so self-reflective and to learn to step through the various viewpoints of consciousness - that we call occultism - leads to freedom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In self-giving you must be so careful of egotism. You must be so careful when you are aiding others in their liberation not to have a sense of self.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In meditation we get a sense of the countless selves within ourselves, the different forms they take. Those that don't seem positive or helpful we push aside. Those that seem progressive we enjoy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a lot of opposition. You will experience it. But the joys that come from the study, more than compensate for the opposition, in my opinion. It's a personal choice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are happiest when you are most humble. You are most miserable when you are egotistical.

The problem is that the dictator of the tonal wants to eliminate the mystery of life.
