Image
In reading, in literature and poetry, I found an artistic freedom that I didn't see at Woolworth's. I would read everything from Shakespeare to science fiction ... sometimes a book a day.

You can measure your power in your ability to stop thought. The longer you can stop thought, the more powerful you are.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is meditation, the actual experience of life directly, immediately with no buffers.
Frederick Lenz
Image

Image
The world is a grain of sand on the beach of Eternity. Eternity is a grain of sand on the beach of Infinity. The ocean of Nirvana connects both Eternity and Infinity without connecting them. Know this and you will be free.

Love comes from ourselves, not from someone else.

Image
Enlightened teachers are not logical. They don't function from levels that are understandable to the human mind. They're not religious. Religions form around them, usually after they've died.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We must control the tendencies within our being that are destructive, when we want to slam somebody else, hurt them, injure them, or push them out of the way. A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We try to fulfill ourselves, even though our inner voice tells us to become all that we are - still, we run from it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At the end of your life you will probably end up in an old-age home, or in a back room in one of your children's houses, left only with a handful of fading memories and a body racked with great pain and suffering.
Frederick Lenz
Image
With Zen we do it more through slight of hand, a very subtle and delicate shift in consciousness, which shifts the world. It's kind of done from the inside out.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We erase ourselves we go away. But we don't really go away, and we don't really erase ourselves, since we were never there to begin with. We weren't there to begin with in that what we are, or conceive of ourselves as, is a perception.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The tonal is so strong, that it even arranges a syntactical place for God and thus kills the mystery, the reality, and paralyzes the being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The planes of consciousness are correlated to what we call the chakras, which are located along the shushumna.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfliss giving rounds the edges in spiritual practice. Many people can meditate very well but they're still very egotistical.
