Begin to see that life is very, very complex. It is made up of thousands of dimensions of wonder.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Samsara is the world appearance, the cycle of rebirth, the physically manifest universes and states of mind that you perceive through the medium of ego.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightened people live in very charged states of attention, with a tremendous power circuiting through them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Do not be selfish and feel new people will take more of the teacher's attention and you won't get it. That's nonsense. With that attitude, you won't get it. The teacher sees that attitude and will have very little to do with you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Then there are most of my students who don't know a whole lot about love. You don't know what fun love is. I will remain inaccessible to you until you learn how to love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We try to fulfill ourselves, even though our inner voice tells us to become all that we are - still, we run from it.
Frederick Lenz

You have but a short time to live in this world. As you age, you will experience the pains of aging. If your hopes and joys rest upon the body, then you will suffer greatly.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A lot of people have this live or die attitude with mediation. It has to be all or nothing. I don't think it should be. It's a study that you follow for the rest of your life.

Just as we have a physical body, so we have an etheric body and the etheric body is made up of energy, of light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In Tantric Buddhism, we believe that Samsara is Nirvana. That is to say that everything in the universe is part of us. And we also are part of everything in the universe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every person I've known has had an effect on me, as have people whom I've not met in the physical in this life, but whom I've met inwardly, teachers from other eras - Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramakrishna and Lao Tse.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The danger to power is obsession - power junkies. You need a very strong mind and humor to balance yourself. If you don't, you will get shredded.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Only listen to the observations of the enlightened because everyone else is self-centered, egocentric and bound by the net of desire.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love teaches us how to penetrate the inner worlds, to clean the glass of existence and see reality in its perfect essence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Any area you slough off in your life will reflect in your meditation. Be happy when you could be depressed. Push jealous, fear, and anger out of your mind. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If one becomes enlightened, as I did in past incarnations, we leave the structural universes behind. We don't even have past incarnations because the form that had those incarnations has dissolved into the clear light of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
They get you when you're young. When you are a kid, you are conditioned. You are taught language, customs, and right and wrong. You are filled with fears. This conditioning interferes with your psychic perception.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is the Buddhist belief that at every moment the universe is not only dying but being reborn.
Frederick Lenz
Image
To think that this is the only universe, that the physical creation is all there is, these are the dogmas of our times.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every day work on your humility through your meditation, giving more of yourself, giving those things you don't want to give.
