If you seek to change your life and attain enlightenment, you must deal with these questions. If there is no truth in this, then ignore these silly words.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Learn to meditate. It's fun. It will give you a strong, wonderful mind.

When you practice selfless giving, you're in balance and harmony with everything.
Frederick Lenz

In the course of an individual being's evolution we will practice each of these yogas. One path is not superior to another.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People who meditate seek good moments forever. They know that there are other worlds beyond this world. They feel it. I experience those worlds when I meditate.

For years and years you enter into samadhi every day in order to attain liberation. Eternity fashions a new self which you find yourself with when you come out of samadhi. Each time you come out a little less, you might say, or your real self comes out a little more

When you're humble it's like wearing a beautiful flower. It inspires others. It generates energy and power.

Image
Most people want to make maximum money for minimum work, and that does not result in a happy life. Work does not become an active force to advance your awareness into higher states.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What matters is that you meditate, you're seeking enlightenment, you're on the pathway to enlightenment, and you're having fun. Don't look for reassurance in the eyes of others. Look for reassurance in your own eyes. Only you know if Buddhist practice is improving the quality of your life.

Image
The universe is made up of an endless ocean of life itself. It is an endless ocean of itself. And for a time it binds itself together in particularized forms. Those forms have perception and they perceive themselves as being separate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Beyond the ten thousand states of mind is the still point. It exists within them all, yet beyond them. It is not affected by them. It gives birth to them. This is the riddle.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are a being of light composed of cells of light joined together in a matrix.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Love was where I learned to go beyond myself, through the arts, through relationships, through sexuality.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Molecules are moving. Universes are colliding. Generations are being born and dying simultaneously, throughout eternity. As one of our great American poets, Walt Whitman, once said: I contain multitudes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Words are deceptive. You think you understand something because it's explained to you and now you are under no obligation to do anything because you understand it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everyone feels some jealousy, some anger, and some hostility. Don't feel guilty. But to allow them to become dominant expressions of your way of life is off the wall.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We remember a few people who've been enlightened. We build churches and edifices in their name. But few people, if any, feel that they could ever be like that and if that's how they feel - that's how it will be.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Very few people become enlightened in any given lifetime. On the planet earth their might be a dozen who are fully enlightened and several thousand who live in enlightened states of mind.
