It's fun to go to a supermarket or a park or a shopping mall where human beings convene. They're so caught up in their own personal reality as to not see life, except in terms that add to or detract from their movie.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
At the same time, I went through college, received a Ph.D. and started to teach. I wrote books.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Suffering follows the lack of wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
As I'm sure you know by now, most people aren't really very happy. Beyond their surface appearances, the smiles they wear for the rest of the world, most people are soul-sick.

The dream appears to be real. It does really seem we are here in this world but this is not so.

I observe many people who say they are meditating, but I sure don't see them meditating. They sit and touch a lot of people, places and things psychically, but they sure don't meditate.
Frederick Lenz
How can you be happy in a world like this? You have got to be crazy to even attempt something like that.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is or is not unless you happen to think it so. That's what Shakespeare said, and he knew.

The primary quality that Lao Tzu seems to emobdy is humility, which is the image of water - seeking the common level of existence.
Frederick Lenz
People seem to get caught up in jargon like they get caught up in ashrams and power structures and they never become free. They become masters of jargon and power structures.
Frederick Lenz
Some people, of course, say they're practicing tantra. There are a lot of books on tantric sexual practice in local bookstores. These are usually pretty silly books.
Frederick Lenz
I consider those persons to be my students who come and meditate with me on a regular basis, who, in spite of the hardships and difficulties on the path of knowledge, still continue to try, and who respect me as I respect them.
Frederick Lenz
Things are not necessarily logical. Logic is a secondary source reference. Everything is what it is. We have decided to apply rationale to things. It makes us feel better.
Frederick Lenz
The pathway to enlightenment is beautiful. There are a lot of wonderful things that happen along the way. Win or lose, you just keep going, and it happens eventually.
Frederick Lenz
Even sickness becomes an experience that we pass through in happiness because our happiness is not dependent upon how our body feels, but how our spirit feels.
Frederick Lenz
Granted, in order to give selflessly, one often starts giving selfishly. As Tiresias said to Odysseus: Honey ... you don't get through hell in a hurry
Frederick Lenz
The sensual experiences in life are not to be avoided. This is the philosophy of Tantric Buddhism - nor are they particularly to be sought after.
