The sensual experiences in life are not to be avoided. This is the philosophy of Tantric Buddhism - nor are they particularly to be sought after.
Frederick Lenz
You cannot be born and you cannot die because you don't even exist ... in the sense that you think of existence.
Frederick Lenz
As incarnations go by, the atom gets more complex. That is, your being, the part of you that reincarnates from lifetime to lifetime, the aggregate, grows thicker and denser.
Frederick Lenz
The majority of times when a man thinks he has been the instigator, which men like to think, in sexual and romantic experiences, that has not been the case.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is or is not unless you happen to think it so. That's what Shakespeare said, and he knew.
Frederick Lenz
The outer form of Buddhism, of practice, is etiquette - a series of ways to live intelligently that keep you alive, awake and happy, wakeful.
Frederick Lenz
The end of this world occurs when you move from one world into another, from one reality into another.
Frederick Lenz
You are not a singular self. You are a corporation. Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple.
Frederick Lenz
This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.
