You don't have to meditate. You don't have to practice self-discovery and Buddhism. You should only practice self-discovery if you really have had it with the human world.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.
Frederick Lenz
If you're powerful enough you can even determine whom you will meet and whom you will avoid long before you meet them.
Frederick Lenz
The trick to keeping your meditation practice alive, not simply consistent but wonderful, is you need to bring a certain will or force into every meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The description you have been given of the world is an aberrant one. It does not accept and give proper place to the nagual, to the mysterious unknown that is our heritage.
Frederick Lenz
Those who seek liberation want to go beyond individualized perception. The essence of their being wants to dissolve back into the cosmos.
Frederick Lenz
From a Buddhist perspective, it is incorrect to always assume that we know what is best.
Frederick Lenz
Unconscious of the existence of Tao, beings live supposing themselves to be separate from the universal intelligence, supposing themselves to be powerful or to be weak, thinking that they live their lives and die their deaths.
Frederick Lenz
There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.
Frederick Lenz
In my estimation it's silly to go out and spend your time aiding people if you don't have your own act together yet. So I'd rather you spend the time, get it right, and it'll all work out a lot better.
Frederick Lenz
The way to meditate is by not trying to be too good at it too quickly. This is essential, because otherwise you won't have any fun with it.
Frederick Lenz
Love leads us to ourselves - this is the mystery of love.
Frederick Lenz
Manipulators are very evolved. Energy is food. Forget good and bad. Is the coyote bad and the rabbit good?
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
The reason you study with a teacher is primarily for the empowerments, for someone who is enlightened to transfer power to you. What is most important is that the student uses that power intelligently and wisely.
Frederick Lenz
I don't think of myself as a guru but as a teacher. If one means 'guru' in the original sense a 'dispeller of darkness' then that certainly is my purpose.
Frederick Lenz
Have lots of plants in your house. Nature and plants understand something about stillness and silence. As you interact with the green world, you will find a peace will enter your life.
Frederick Lenz
Practitioners of tantra don't decide to break the rules. They are not particularly hung up on having sex or eating meat or drinking alcohol. They don't strive to do these things, nor do they strive to avoid them.
Frederick Lenz
You can just sit and space out. A lot of people do that and think they are doing a wonderful meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Up until now, women have depended completely upon men for their survival. You're dealing with thousands of years of history, where sexual slavery was the condition. While suddenly the laws may change, to some extent, the conditioning doesn't go away that fast.
Frederick Lenz
Love more deeply and without the sense of what you love being your personal possession.
Frederick Lenz
