More quotes by Frederick Lenz
My favorite cause is the enlightenment of others. I think that is the best place to put money. You get the highest yield in terms of karma on your money.
Frederick Lenz
To not realize that everyone we think about affects us psychically, to not realize that life is a field of power, is criminal, in my opinion. If you are a sensitive and evolved being, it is simply criminal.
Frederick Lenz
You become someone else when you meditate. It isn't just a little technique. If you really pursue it, you change radically - you evolve.
Frederick Lenz
It is best to study from a teacher of ANY subject, as long as you focus on the teachings and NOT on the teacher. All of the real important answers to life's questions lie within your own mind.
Frederick Lenz
Very few people become enlightened in any given lifetime. On the planet earth their might be a dozen who are fully enlightened and several thousand who live in enlightened states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
People want to will their self realization. They want to know what the right thing to do all the time is. There is no right thing. There's no code. There are certain basic recommendations.
Frederick Lenz
Focus on the center of the chest, relax. Imagine a rose there. Feel it unfolding. Let yourself go and ignore your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
You have to learn to be very, very gentle to start with - with yourself eventually. Meditation is not something that you force. It is something that happens to you because life gives you a gift.
Frederick Lenz
It is my experience that people who don't participate in society, who don't have jobs, who don't have friends, are just very stuck in irresponsibility and cultism and all kinds of nonsense.
Frederick Lenz
People would start to follow him and they'd say: Well why should I follow the Romans? This man says I can be free and do what I want. So he had to be put out of the way quickly because he was a revolutionary.
Frederick Lenz
There are people who just can't handle life because they've thrown away too much of their reason.
Frederick Lenz
If the Zen master sees that it will cause a person to progress, he will ask that person to do a task. The task is charged with power if it's performed properly. It's a koan between yourself and the Zen Master.
Frederick Lenz
Feel that the energy of your willpower can easily deflect tension-causing feelings and frustrations that are directed towards you from the outside world.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.
Frederick Lenz
Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.
Frederick Lenz
Be the exceptional being who separates themselves from the herd and the fate of the herd.
Frederick Lenz
The only way you can really evaluate spiritual advancement is to see how someone treats those who are close to them.
Frederick Lenz
There is no continuity at all. The universe isn't any particular way. It strictly depends upon perception.
Frederick Lenz
If you're studying Buddhism you never really have enough time because you're going to die.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is dependent on your ability to stop thoughts. The longer you can stop your thoughts in meditation, the faster you will evolve, the more power you will pick up and the more knowledgeable and balanced you will become.
