When you practice selfless giving, you're in balance and harmony with everything.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen doesn't believe in the reconciliation of opposites because from the point of view of Zen, there is no point of view.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's as if all your past is written on the blackboard, and if we could erase it, your past would no longer exist. The way you do that - the only way you do that - is in samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Slow down. Enjoy life. It's tough to slow down if your mind is going a million miles a second. It's tough to slow down if you think what these people do here matters.

Image
If the kundalini is flowing through you at a very rapid rate, if you are not in harmony with the dharma, then you will have great problems with the study.
Frederick Lenz
Image
They'll kill you in a minute rather than deal with truth. It's more convenient because then they can forget about it and rationalize your death.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Work in a place that feels good to you. Select the best of that which is available. The Zen of working is just to do it, not to worry about it. Feel you would be doing it without the money.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Physical circumstance will not cause happiness. Or if it does, there is the fear of loss. Now you are a slave to it. You have become bound to it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Forgiveness is the best revenge.

Image
When you are not following dharma, then you will not be at peace. You will not be happy. The simplest things will seem to be endless obstacles.

Image
As my meditative experiences grew, I had wonderful relationships. I met the most wonderful women, who meditated and shared certain understandings that I had.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Entities are beings that are dead. They are the lowest beings on the evolutionary scale because they don't even know they are dead. They are so stupid. What they seek is life again - they come into the world of the living.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you know that you have had countless lives, then what happens in this life is not quite as traumatic.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't become a spiritual bigot. Don't feel that just because you meditate and you are striving for enlightenment that you are in any way superior to any other person. Be even. Be easy. You will last longer on the pathway to self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Laughing at fear is one of the best things you can do. When you are afraid, instead of just plunging into panic, laugh. The fear gets really uptight and leaves.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Use power carefully. Don't be afraid to have it. Learn balance and wisdom in addition to the unlocking of the kundalini, if you wish to have a happy and enlightened life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A teacher will alter the balance of power by actually lifting a person into other states of mind. In those states of mind the teaching will take place in non-verbal ways through direct experience.

Image
Krishna says, fight. He says, go out in the battlefield and kill those people whom it's your job to kill.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everybody is in the waiting room of life. Yoga is not a waiting. It is a doing, today.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When your consciousness expands you are in a world, literally, of light. You live in a world of light where nothing is solid. You don't have to be enlightened to have this experience. You just have to start the inner journey.
