The Zen master can see precisely what it will take to cause your awareness to become free. But the Zen master can't do it for you.
Frederick Lenz
Thoughts can increase our understanding of a subject, or they can just as easily constrict or block our understanding of a subject. It very much depends upon the language we are thinking in.
Frederick Lenz
That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction. This is an arena of power.
Frederick Lenz
While I had many friends as a child I aslo kept a great deal to myself. I noticed that adults were drawn to me. They would talk to me for hours at my parents' parties. Strange to find yourself at seven, dressed in pagamas with feet, listening to adults tell you their deepest secrets.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving is love in action. Initially you will feel that you should help in a certain way, with a certain result. Do your best, but don't be concerned with results do it for the infinite.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
What is enlightenment, anyway? I don't know if I can really put it into words, perhaps you can. I can't.
Frederick Lenz
If you live in the city, it is necessary to get out of it on weekends. Then you will realize that most of the thoughts and desires you have are not yours. You will see what is you.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is the study of the way the mind works. One has to be able to hold a large number of relational concepts simultaneously in the mind. It is necessary to grid, to literally unlock realities and dimensions with the power of your mind.
Frederick Lenz
There is a world of deaf, dumb and blind people out there, who are shuffling through their lives, not knowing how wonderful life can be. They have their moments, but they are very unconscious.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate you will be able to get in touch with that part of yourself which knows what it wants, as opposed to the levels and layers of conditioning in your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Honestly admitting what you lost and not trying to rationalize it or push it off is an important step in self-assessment and mindfulness.
Frederick Lenz
The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.
Frederick Lenz
People think that if you are enlightened you are not in touch with the pulse of the physical. Au contraire! The higher you go, the deeper you become, and the more conscious you are of the physical and the sensorial.
Frederick Lenz
A lot of energy is lost to false teachers. Wherever dependency is created, energy is lost.
Frederick Lenz
In order to go beyond ideas to direct realization, it's essential to have a great deal of purity.
