Buddhism suggests there are no elect. Everything rests upon your own self-effort, which is the good news because that means you don't have to wait around for some nebulous God to help you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every day work on your humility through your meditation, giving more of yourself, giving those things you don't want to give.
Frederick Lenz

During the age of Atlantis, the low population density and the resulting purity of the earth's aura, made conditions ideal for discovering secret meditation techniques.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life itself is selfless giving. We're not given this life just for own amusement and pleasures.
Frederick Lenz

In every situation, feel before acting, just for a second. Look for a feeling.

You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you're not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren't that interested.

Try to have a more expanded sense of that which you are. Feel that you are eternity. There's only goodness. There's only light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enjoy being with yourself, hanging out with yourself, doing things by yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction. This is an arena of power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You are not a body. You are not a mind. You are infinite light, infinite intelligence, the radiance of all beings, the dharmakaya - the endless light of creation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility feels that there is someone, somewhere who can do anything I can do better - except one thing: no one can be better at being me.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Many spiritual teachers have done this. They have disbanded their whole community because everyone got angry. The karma, at a certain point, has to go back to the person it's intensified and hurts them spiritually.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In meditation we get a sense of the countless selves within ourselves, the different forms they take. Those that don't seem positive or helpful we push aside. Those that seem progressive we enjoy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple. We're told that we're Ted or Sally or Willie or whatever and that we grow up and have experiences. That has nothing to do with what life is. You are eternity.

The ultimate intelligence of all things is your essence. Your mind is the universe. Your body is all things.
