The abuse of power takes happiness away.
Frederick Lenz
Every day I get letters from people thanking me for helping them to become successful, whether because of their personal growth or because of economic rewards. A few of my former students have even become millionaires.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment means that you're in love with all of life, with not only immortality but mortality.
Frederick Lenz
There is no beginning and there is no end. Nothing is final. There is no absolute. There is no highest point, nor is there a lowest point. These configurations are ideas. Ideas are primitive constructs, symbolic representations, reflections in a mirror.
Frederick Lenz
You don't have to take drugs to be happy. You don't have to drink to be happy. You don't have to have people around you who love you to be happy. You don't need anything except the clarity of your own mind.
Frederick Lenz
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we're stuck in.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the pathway to enlightenment, and I would encourage you to follow that pathway as far as you can, into ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
There is no way to explain enlightenment. It is just a word to indicate something beyond, something very, very far beyond the normal human condition.
Frederick Lenz
The sensual experiences in life are not to be avoided. This is the philosophy of Tantric Buddhism - nor are they particularly to be sought after.
Frederick Lenz
Who needs to go the horror movies? Just go outside or turn on the TV. Buddha called it the nightmare of the day. Welcome to incarnate experience.
Frederick Lenz
As incarnations go by, the atom gets more complex. That is, your being, the part of you that reincarnates from lifetime to lifetime, the aggregate, grows thicker and denser.
Frederick Lenz
People who are drawn to meditation have had lots of incarnation in the world of experience, and we know the score. We know that experience is great, but it's not enough.
Frederick Lenz
There are other options that no one ever told you about. These are things mom and dad never explained to you your teachers didn't know they weren't enlightened. They weren't luminous beings that stood out of time and space.
Frederick Lenz
Changing the way you dress can make it easier to make deeper changes in the structure of your personality.
Frederick Lenz
With the practice of meditation you can move into other states of mind, sort of ungluing the glue that binds you to a particular perceptual mode, a way of seeing life which is an illusory one.
Frederick Lenz
