Buddhism isn't about temples, and incense, and shaved heads, and robes. It's not about church. There are aspects of Buddhism that involve that. People enjoy that, it helps them, it strengthens their practice.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
How do you become enlightened? Have fun, meditate, don't take yourself too seriously, brush between incarnations and have a good teacher.
Frederick Lenz
You can think whatever you want, you can create all the labels you choose, but the universe just is. You can come to terms with it or not. If you don't come to terms with it, we say you live in illusion.
Frederick Lenz
The best mantrum is selfless giving beause as you repeat it again and again, you change.
Frederick Lenz
You are separate from the universe, therefore you experience it.
Frederick Lenz
Through the study of Zen you can learn to move from lower to higher states of mind at will. Higher states of mind offer you a much more accurate picture of reality.
Frederick Lenz
This world we exist in is populated by people who have really shut themselves off from life.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is simply a methodology, a way of becoming one with the part of ourselves that is happy.
Frederick Lenz
The aura of billions of people coats all experiences like a thick cloud of smog. Just to live on the earth is to live in that smog.
Frederick Lenz
Something in you wants to go beyond, wants to be free from this endless round of perception. Enlightenment is that.
Frederick Lenz
You draw the mystical kundalini from the earth. Earth is an element. Fire, air, earth, water, and ether - the mystical kundalini comes through them all.
Frederick Lenz
Of course, there are the old hardcore teacher types like me who sit around and tell jokes, realizing, what's the difference anyway - it's all timeless.
Frederick Lenz
The higher octave light that comes from samadhi, the kundalini of samadhi, this you can absorb continuously. You can never overload. It can never hurt you.
Frederick Lenz
I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.
Frederick Lenz
A great deal of energy is lost in the study by people who interact with non-physical beings. They get into your mind and your body by approaching you in the dream plane, promising you powers, playing on your desires. They sap your life force.
Frederick Lenz
Personal power is a feeling, like life.
Frederick Lenz
Power, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation will do you a disservice. It will confuse you more than clarify you. It will bring tremendous impurity in you - if you are allowing your mind to wander during the empowered experience.
Frederick Lenz
It's up to you to avail yourself to knowledge. Knowledge doesn't need you. The idea of a compassionate God was formulated, obviously, by someone who didn't want to do any work.
Frederick Lenz
Some people speak of the Akashic Records as if they were on an IBM mainframe that's out there somewhere near the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Frederick Lenz
Mysticism cuts through bullshit, and it takes you right there to the experience. Everything in your life is eventually set up as a pragmatic energy flow into the light.
Frederick Lenz
