Frederick Lenz
I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.
Frederick Lenz
There's a resonance inside us, a sense of who we are. We're a multi-bodied traveler. We're an essence. We're a feeling, an awareness that has an ancient existence.
Frederick Lenz
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.
Frederick Lenz
We go to the cinema we see images projected on the screen - but they're not real, they're only images.
Frederick Lenz
The yoga of discrimination is only practiced once you have started to go into Samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
If you seek to change your life and attain enlightenment, you must deal with these questions. If there is no truth in this, then ignore these silly words.
Frederick Lenz
