A realistic recognition of the human condition is that it is corrupt beyond belief. What do you suppose would happen if the police all took a week off?
Frederick Lenz
Image
With Zen we do it more through slight of hand, a very subtle and delicate shift in consciousness, which shifts the world. It's kind of done from the inside out.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Your spiritual journey and your spiritual welfare are really dependent on two primary factors: One, your ability to meditate and two, your ability to give of yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
While people who are enlightened are worthy of respect, to put them on a pedestal is a mistake. To undervalue them is also a mistake.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Image
A true master has developed, in their inner practices and studies, certain powers. These powers are sometimes of the miraculous nature, the transmission of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Happiness is not the same as pleasure. Pleasure is an immediate experience, very transient in nature, that's enjoyable, and if we experience a great deal of it - there's a sense of satiation.
