Frederick Lenz
Image
What I term Zen, old Zen, the original face of Zen, new Zen, pure Zen, or Tantric Zen is - Zen in its essence.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you meditate, you can experience the other worlds, the far-flung eternities and dimensions - and you are not stuck in any one of them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The majority of the ten thousand states of mind cannot be discussed. It is rather a question of teaching a person to step outside the conceptual framework they have and transmitting blocks of awareness to an individual psychically.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Arjuna is a warrior of great renown, says he won't fight. He tells Krishna: I can't fight because I love these people. It's immoral. It's unjust. There's no winning.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you love, you should always watch the quality of your love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are many ways to meditate. When you meditate, you are learning how to feel again.
Frederick Lenz
