What is perfection anyway in the physical? It is an idea we have. When it doesn't happen we get all bent out of shape and frustrated and angry and then unhappy, we take it out on everybody.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
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
Psychic awareness leads to a true perception not only of events, but just of life itself. It is its own raison d'etre.
Frederick Lenz
Those who are already adept at some disciplines of the body will find that the study of Zen and meditation will give you much more control than you now have.
Frederick Lenz
I meet people who neglect career. Their lives aren't centered at all. They don't have much money. They have this spaced-out look in their eyes. Their chances for enlightenment are very small, unless they change the way they live.
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
Money is very useful in this particular world to buy you space. In the old days, there were not too many people on the planet. Today everybody owns the forests and woods and there are No Trespassing signs everywhere.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is complicated and we're not going to get it all in one night or one incarnation or one infinity.
Frederick Lenz
Satori is a brief flash. Suddenly the light breaks through. For a short timeless time we experience eternity in its unmanifest form. It's comparable to salvikalpa samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
I have not in this lifetime yet met one person who earnestly seeks enlightenment in the West. Not one person.
Frederick Lenz
Self-realization doesn't imply loss, gain, even transition it's only a settling. The separate sounds on the beach, the birds, the waves, the wind. They all come together again, they blend, they harmonize.
Frederick Lenz
If you know that you have had countless lives, then what happens in this life is not quite as traumatic.
Frederick Lenz
Mysteries are not riddles. Mysteries are places to go with your mind. You go into mysteries.
Frederick Lenz
We want to see the universe in its absolute, pure, naked, perfection. We want to know its wonder. We want to know the totality of ourselves. That's done in steps and degrees and not in one day.
Frederick Lenz
The software is the strength of the electronic tribe because it's networking. It's creating oneness. It's creating tributaries that link together into a singular river.
Frederick Lenz
Each of the ten thousand states of mind presents you with a different view of essence and experience.
Frederick Lenz
What we seek to do in Tantric Buddhism is to liquefy ourselves. Life will automatically bring us to the next stage. You don't really have to know where you're going - It's like breathing.
Frederick Lenz
It's not my light to begin with, in a sense it's the light of God, the light of eternity. So take all you want!
Frederick Lenz
When you die you forget. Death is a sleep, a forgetting. You forget about your previous lifetime. The essence of your being is the same. But at death, the personality dissolves
Frederick Lenz
A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred.
Frederick Lenz
Most people have no idea how unhappy they are because they don't know what happiness is. When they get a little break from their total pain, they feel a little better and they call it happiness.
