Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Only the completely enlightened are beyond winning and losing. Yet, strangely enough, they had to win to get to the point of being beyond winning and losing.
Frederick Lenz
I was initiated as a Buddhist monk at the age of 19, but I think that initiation is simply a starting point.
Frederick Lenz
What we're seeking to do is internalize perception. Perception is very much involved with the senses and the mental processes and the emotional processes.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond this world there are myriad worlds, thousands of inter-dimensional planes with different types of beings going through other cycles of existence. Beyond all beings is something that is eternal.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is not a religion. There is no room for a cult. There is no dependence on a teacher. There is only learning how to use your own mind and making it strong.
Frederick Lenz
The essence of your awareness field definitely goes on after death. It goes through death, it goes into non-physical states for a time, and then eventually is pulled back and it reincarnates.
Frederick Lenz
All things are spiritual. It doesn't matter what you do or who you are or what kind of blue jeans you wear, or whether you wear an ochre robe or whether you're sober or asleep or dreaming. It's all the same.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment doesn't simply mean being in heavenly states of mind. It doesn't mean being a saint.
Frederick Lenz
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
Most enlightened people can do miracles. Some have powers, some don't. Some people who have developed powers aren't enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
I don't dictate particular styles of dress. I do teach classes in self discovery.
Frederick Lenz
There is wisdom in not letting anyone really know who you are or what you are like. If you define yourself, people hold you in their mind a certain way making it difficult to change.
Frederick Lenz
The heart is a place of great light and their are different gradations of light that pass through the heart.
Frederick Lenz
You can just sweep the floor generally and gain nothing from it. Or you can figure out the best way to sweep the floor, put your power into it, use it as a concentration exercise, and be meditative.
Frederick Lenz
Love is something that we don't control. We have to be ourselves. You can be sexual, nonsexual, asexual, bisexual, or trisexual and it really doesn't have a lot to do with enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
It is possible to move to an enlightened state of mind from a lower bardo or level of awareness. It can happen, but it is extremely unlikely.
Frederick Lenz
I consider those persons to be my students who come and meditate with me on a regular basis, who, in spite of the hardships and difficulties on the path of knowledge, still continue to try, and who respect me as I respect them.
Frederick Lenz
Help the world in any way that you want to. I have found that the more light you give and spread, the more you will evolve.
Frederick Lenz
I realized after being married for some time that it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough to lead an individual life where I loved on person and we created a world together.
Frederick Lenz
Some people go into tantra with the idea, sort of an intellectual approach, that now they can just do everything and stay high. That doesn't work at all.
Frederick Lenz
