More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You reincarnate forever because you exist forever. You can't die. You can't be born, your essence that is. You are on a big wheel.
Frederick Lenz
Most people don't why they are born or why they die. They have no understanding of the forces in life that pull them and push them to their death and another rebirth in this or another world.
Frederick Lenz
People always say, 'A good man is hard to find.' You've never heard that about women, have you?
Frederick Lenz
A Buddhist is working not just to get paid, but working to advance spiritually. You shouldn't create a syntactical break in your mind between your career and your religious practice.
Frederick Lenz
If you think of others in a jealous way or if you become angry, immediately pause for a moment. It's going to pull you down and send negative energy. At that moment, pause and correct yourself.
Frederick Lenz
The essence of Buddhism is simply that the mind is forever. We are always experiencing different states of mind in one form or another, in one body or another, in one life or another, forever.
Frederick Lenz
Most people lead their lives like they drive their cars.
Frederick Lenz
The secret teaching was the bodhisattva ideal, to live for others, for the welfare of all beings. That's enlightenment, not some flashy state of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.
Frederick Lenz
Men are suppressing woman politically, philosophically, socially, through denying them education, equal rights, equal employment, and just by setting up a description of the world in which a woman views herself as a vessel, as someone who's only there to have children, as someone who can't succeed, even spiritually.
Frederick Lenz
Material success is a way of tightening up your life so that you can move into higher planes of attention. You should try to do well in every aspect of your life, because each aspect of your life affects your total being.
Frederick Lenz
Do not feel that you are destined not to make that final liberation in this life. This is egotism in a reverse form. Don't be concerned one way or the other.
Frederick Lenz
I am an expert in the world of the supremely happy because I am happy. I've never met anybody as happy as I am - that, in itself, should make you unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
In Buddhist practice a great deal of time is spent practicing mandala meditation. You learn to visualize and hold simultaneous concepts in the mind during meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Your life can be horrible or it can be incredibly beautiful. It can be boring or exciting. It's seldom in between. Your active use of will determines what will happen to you in this and other lives.
Frederick Lenz
We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
Most people are not in the world of awe and wonder. They're in the world of deadness. Their perceptual fields and bodies are completely self-reflective, and all they see is themselves wherever they go.
Frederick Lenz
It is very hard to perceive the future on a regular basis simply because the future changes.
Frederick Lenz
Light by its very nature is endless. Therefore you can never say you've had the ultimate experience in light - it goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
The astral is the supporting ground for the physical dimension.
