Image
There's no place to go. There's nothing to attain. There's nothing to be reached. Love itself is all that you want.
Frederick Lenz

Ask youself: Am I loving as deeply as I am capable of loving?
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you sit in this light from week to week, you will transform and grow and develop. It washes away the samskaras, the past-life tendencies. It washes away the karmic tendencies from this life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I realize that there's a thing called the bodhisattva ideal, and it's a very nice pinnacle of attention. It's a very egotistical thought, ultimately.
Frederick Lenz
Image
On the path of love we feel that if we love today, it's only because God is loving through us, because there is a special grace present with which we can love.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the Zen of sports and athletics, we seek to bring discipline and control into our physical movements, but at the same time to eliminate the self that gets in the way of perfect play.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you were just you, you would be happy. But of course, you don't know who or what you are. So how can you possibly be happy? That is why you have got to study Zen...or something.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are ten thousand planes of awareness within the infinite mind of the diamond mind, your deeper mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We cannot say that you are spiritually advanced if you are unkind to those around you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In love we listen. We listen to what others say. We listen to what our own being is telling us about the nature of existence.
