More quotes by Frederick Lenz
As long as you exist, you are aware of the manifest universes through the senses, through feelings and through mind.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person lives in the world, passes through the ten thousand states of mind, but they are not bound by them. They can go beyond perception.
Frederick Lenz
Everybody deals with stress differently. Some people drink, some people use drugs, some people watch TV. I have always found that extreme athletics chills me out and leaves me in a very centered place.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is as it seems - This is an illusion.
Frederick Lenz
When we love others we see our oneness with others.
Frederick Lenz
Our life interferes, our mind, our thoughts. Meditating is not just a practice of asserting will and learning to control the mind, it is also developing control of one's life and gaining wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness does not come from external things as we're really taught as children. It doesn't come from Santa Claus. Happiness is from within your mind. Just realizing that will change your whole life.
Frederick Lenz
It seems to me that there's a terrible misunderstanding between us. It seems to me that I love you a great deal, my friends.
Frederick Lenz
Winning begins at home. It begins with your thoughts and your actions.
Frederick Lenz
Dreams are real. This is unreal. This world is unreal. Everybody has it backwards. This is the dream. This is an insubstantial pageant. Nothing here lasts - that is how you know it's the dream.
Frederick Lenz
Who wants to be stuck in being religious and being spiritual either? That's not freedom. You've just exchanged handcuffs for leg irons - which doesn't mean that you should avoid enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
To think that this is the only universe, that the physical creation is all there is, these are the dogmas of our times.
Frederick Lenz
There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.
Frederick Lenz
We can't say what enlightenment is, we can't say what it isn't, because these are words and words have nothing to do with reality.
Frederick Lenz
The pathway to enlightenment is joyful. It may sound harsh. I suggest just the opposite. It is rather easy compared to the possibilities of staying in pain and illusion.
Frederick Lenz
This is simple meditation, nothingness and everythingness, the color and the form, death and the void, the end and the beginning, a beginningless end with an endless beginning, Pretty clever if you ask me.
Frederick Lenz
If you're interested in matching your mind with the most intelligent kind of beast I have ever encountered, get yourself a Scotty dog. He'll get bored very fast, and it will require all of your personal power and intelligence to keep up with him. You might find a good friend.
Frederick Lenz
Don't preach about meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Just like there are different roads that lead to different places, so there are different levels of awareness that lead to different places and we shift in and out of them. These are the ten thousand states of mind that we study in Zen.
Frederick Lenz
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love - what a wonderful testing ground, what a wonderful place to see and sense our limitations, to know that the pain reflects your state of awareness and not being able to hide from it.
