Tantric Buddhists don't believe in sin. Stupidity, yes, meaning we make ourselves or others suffer.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A child is imprinted not by simply teaching. But their attention is like soft clay. The attention field of adults is stratified. They are like hard clay and we push them on each side of the child's attention field.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Lao Tsu always points a finger directly to us. He says we must begin with ourselves. It's impossible to bring order into the world unless we bring order into ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Do something nice for somebody. Do something nice for God. Do something nice for the earth - and don't expect anything in return or you will suffer.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you were just you, you would be happy. But of course, you don't know who or what you are. So how can you possibly be happy? That is why you have got to study Zen...or something.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I observe many people who say they are meditating, but I sure don't see them meditating. They sit and touch a lot of people, places and things psychically, but they sure don't meditate.

If even one woman in the West were to become enlightened, it would change karmas on this planet.

Image
Bodhidharma who brought Zen from India to the Orient, taught a very pure Zen - in that it was pure Zen. He wanted to show that the way still existed and wanted to get back to its essence.

Image
How can you give something to someone who has everything? If you think men are tough to shop for at Christmas, try God. God has everything except one thing, friends. God doesn't have friends.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You're a refraction of the one light. You're a waveform of light. You're a fractal, a pattern that continuously changes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Satori is a brief flash. Suddenly the light breaks through. For a short timeless time we experience eternity in its unmanifest form. It's comparable to salvikalpa samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no place to go and no one to be.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who love and who have a sense of purity live in a very luminous band of awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The pageant of life is divided into ying and yang. They're two circles. You can follow either circle and manage to develop enough speed to move beyond this world to other worlds, dimensional realities.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Will is developed in meditation. It is refined. It is within you, but you don't know how to get to it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We live in a world where no one believes. Enlightenment and knowledge are laughed at. Those who seek and teach the mysteries are scorned and often persecuted. Welcome to the planet earth: environment hostile.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It has been my experience as a teacher over the years and incarnations that what really counts are not techniques. What really counts is spirit, love. What really counts is a sense of propriety and dedication.

Image
There are lifetimes where one goes off into the Himalayas and meditate in a cave. But this is not really one of those lifetimes for most people. Our earth has changed.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Physical circumstance will not cause happiness. Or if it does, there is the fear of loss. Now you are a slave to it. You have become bound to it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The ego seeks fame and fortune. Humility doesn't seek at all - it accepts.
