Image
When we erase perception, then we erase that which perceives perception. The universe dissolves and we see that it was never real to begin with.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We label things through value systems that we have developed. But nothing is or is not unless we feel it is that way. We give ground to reality by creating it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Let us say your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend makes you happy. If they leave, you're bound to be unhappy. You are the slave of the thing that makes you happy. You are a junkie and human relationships can be expensive habits.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't become a slave to success or failure, family, friends, possessions. If these things come to you in life, enjoy them, but fix your consciousness on that which does not change.

Image
There is deception. People who think they are enlightened and it's just ego.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I don't think of myself as a guru but as a teacher. If one means 'guru' in the original sense a 'dispeller of darkness' then that certainly is my purpose.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Language is the medium of our thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you are enlightened, your physical body will still feel pain if you get hurt, but you will not be overwhelmed even by extreme physical pain, because your mind is filled with light, love and understanding.
Frederick Lenz
Image
School was a strange place where they tried to make you into something.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Tibetan Buddhist realization is that mind does not have any particular qualities or attributes of its own. It's clear - clear light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
While I enjoy teaching people on the basic and intermediate levels to work them up to advanced levels, my real talent is for the advanced students. You could say that I'm like a ninth-degree black belt in martial arts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When we lack etiquette, we trash things. We trash each other. We trash the environment. We lose sight of the value of things. We suffer alienation when our spirit is disconnected from our physical awareness.
Frederick Lenz

Real spirituality and love is always manifest. It always goes to those who are with us and around us.
