The emptiness of play is when there is no self present. There is no one playing - there is only play itself taking place, perfect fluid motion.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
We want to see the universe in its absolute, pure, naked, perfection. We want to know its wonder. We want to know the totality of ourselves. That's done in steps and degrees and not in one day.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is not a religion. There is no room for a cult. There is no dependence on a teacher. There is only learning how to use your own mind and making it strong.
Frederick Lenz
I like Miracles. They inspire me. Miracles are the fun of enlightenment. When a teacher does a miracle, and everyone sees it, they have faith in what the teacher has to say about self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
If you are going to focus on a teacher, you have to be focused on the teacher and not peripheral vibrations that might be around them or it will totally screw up your meditation.
Frederick Lenz
All beings exist ultimately in a condition of inner enlightenment. Enlightenment is in all things.
Frederick Lenz
If one becomes enlightened, as I did in past incarnations, we leave the structural universes behind. We don't even have past incarnations because the form that had those incarnations has dissolved into the clear light of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Some people think Taoism means not doing anything, just going on with your life. That has little or nothing to do with Taoism.
Frederick Lenz
You need to become a winner to go beyond winning and losing.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes it is hard to see in life. If the fog rolls in we can't see anything. Most people get caught up in life that they forget the purpose of life is to be happy.
Frederick Lenz
If you go too far, it'll blow your mind. I mean it's strong out there. If you go out too far beyond the bounds of attention, there are things in the universe, in the universes of mind, in the inner worlds, it's best sometimes not to deal with unless you're very, very far along.
Frederick Lenz
Thought is the ultimate tonal. Each thought is like a dike that blocks out the nagual.
Frederick Lenz
People who ponder too much about the subject of enlightenment don't progress very fast. It is interesting to know it's there, but you can't know what it's like until you get there.
Frederick Lenz
If your parents were strong in one way and weak in another, you will be strong in the same way and weak in the same way. Even though you detest the weakness in them, you will find that you will do exactly the same things because they imprinted you.
Frederick Lenz
Opinions are secondary when dealing with reality. They're subjective reflections.
Frederick Lenz
There is a sense of competition in Zen. You are competing with your thoughts and trying to overcome them.
Frederick Lenz
A Buddhist is working not just to get paid, but working to advance spiritually. You shouldn't create a syntactical break in your mind between your career and your religious practice.
Frederick Lenz
Balance is to choose happiness, to feel that the purpose of life is to love, not necessarily to be loved, to be happy, to be conscious, to be aware, to be fulfilled.
Frederick Lenz
What we are doing is taking an occult energy it's amplifying in the chakras and the hands. Then we are neutralizing it and spreading it through the being.
Frederick Lenz
Everyone meditates in their own way. Some people sit and practice formal mediation techniques for many hours a day while others spontaneously meditate while watching a sunset, listening to music, or participating in athletics.
Frederick Lenz
No matter how many times you have failed you must keep going forward. Only when you have become humble will you begin to grasp the meaning of life.
Frederick Lenz
