More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Power, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
Frederick Lenz
As you gain control of the mind, you gain control of life and you gain control of your time. It all works together.
Frederick Lenz
If you're very liberal, then you should go and find a very liberal Zen teacher, a liberal interpretation of the doctrines of the Soto or Rinzai schools.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is something that you don't postpone. If you are postponing happiness - it is something you will probably never experience much of.
Frederick Lenz
It's like looking at the sun, that's how infinity is. You can't look at it for too long or you dissolve. The bands of your attention break. But if you look at it in specific ways, you can become something or someone much more conscious.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is everything in the whole universe. It's a state of mind. Your whole life is a state of mind. So be happy, why not?
Frederick Lenz
When I talk about the realm of spirit, happiness, nirvana, enlightenment, I'm not talking about something ideal or imaginary. There are realms of light that exist, that have always existed and will always exist. They're much more solid than the transient perceived reality that you're currently experiencing
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
There are other times. There are other adventures. There are other dreams .
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
A person who wants to progress more rapidly and wishes to overcome unhappiness sooner, should try to find an enlightened master.
Frederick Lenz
It is is easy to smile. It is an act of self-giving. When you smile you are at your best and you give that best to others.
Frederick Lenz
They just teach by their presence. They don't really have a message for humanity. It's irrelevant at that point. They're just a fluid, perfect embodiment of what we call the dharmakaya or the enlightenment of nirvana .
Frederick Lenz
There is wisdom to loving.
Frederick Lenz
If you allow people, places and things, to pass through your mind during meditation, you will pull in all those other auras and you be much more confused and dissociated than you were prior to your meditation experience.
Frederick Lenz
There are many other chakras, or nadis as they are also called. There are chakras in the hands, fingertips, feet and a number of other areas.
Frederick Lenz
It takes tremendous self-restraint on the part of the student not to want to monopolize the teacher's attention, to live a very controlled life and a happy life, and of course, be dedicated to the cause.
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is the dissolution of the self. It's like going swimming in the ocean, no one ever comes out, because one has become the ocean.
Frederick Lenz
The description of the world that most people have is very limited. They are in the fog. Once in a while a genuine insight comes through.
Frederick Lenz
I can throw a great party, but I don't know how to go to one. I can throw a party because when you throw a party you just work all the time. But I could never go to a party because I wouldn't know what to do ... I'd immediately find the kitchen and start to serve food.
Frederick Lenz
