Image
Everything aids everything, because all things are a reflection of the Buddha mind, of the mind of Enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The teaching process is lengthy because there are many, many states of mind to go through. And in each state of mind there is a different aggregate of self to be explored.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Words are a human way of trying to describe things. But they're much more of interference than they are a help in the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You create time by joining events together. But they don't join together there's no separativity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Death is simply a change in perception. It is not an end to perception as a finite being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are afraid of someone, you immediately give them an advantage and give them entry to your awareness field.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sometimes we have to be hard on ourselves. We've got to get on our case, if we are being sloppy, lazy, and indulgent.
Frederick Lenz
Image
