From the point of view of meditation, there is nothing that is not God. When we meditate, we are participating in a spiritual experience. We are seeing life is not perhaps as we thought, but a little bit different, vastly different.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There's a sense of productivity which cripples us terribly. We either have to be doing something worthwile or not. We are back to our little binary male-female code.
Frederick Lenz
Each one of you has created a sense of self. That's what the tonal does. Each one of you is taught a system of maintenance that has been developed by humankind from your birth till your death.
Frederick Lenz
When the world stops, time stops.
Frederick Lenz
If we give purely, it opens up a doorway in our heart and it gives us the vision to see that those we give to are God.
Frederick Lenz
Why do everything perfectly? Isn't perfection just an illusion? Tell me if it's an illusion if they don't fix your car perfectly next time you bring it in.
Frederick Lenz
We've developed a very complex filing system for existence. We see things in terms of good or bad. We feel happiness, joy, pain, loss, guilt and remorse.
Frederick Lenz
Don't become a spiritual bigot. Don't feel that just because you meditate and you are striving for enlightenment that you are in any way superior to any other person. Be even. Be easy. You will last longer on the pathway to self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Once we harness ourselves to love, it carries us to eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Let us say your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend makes you happy. If they leave, you're bound to be unhappy. You are the slave of the thing that makes you happy. You are a junkie and human relationships can be expensive habits.
Frederick Lenz
I think to be in a monastery or an ashram is not always the answer because we don't fight, we kick back. We don't listen to Sri Krishna.
Frederick Lenz
In Zen, and in other forms of self discovery, we do have a transference that occurs where psychically, information, blocks of attention, are transferred to the student.
Frederick Lenz
You identify with your self. You have a personal history. You have commitments. There are things that you want to experience and other things that you want to avoid.
Frederick Lenz
It's a good idea to be in the physical presence of the enlightened teacher because it's not physical. You can hear the ocean from quite a ways away, but if you're standing right in front of it, it's easier.
Frederick Lenz
People want power but not wisdom. Power without wisdom is a very dangerous thing. Better to have wisdom first.
Frederick Lenz
Don't try to be someone. Be yourself. This is what mediation should teach you.
Frederick Lenz
Your ability to still your mind through the process of meditation and inner reflection and outer change brings a stillness to the mind all the time, even in the midst of the busiest activities.
Frederick Lenz
We prefer humility in others - and if we prefer it in others - we can soon prefer it in ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
We go to the cinema we see images projected on the screen - but they're not real, they're only images.
Frederick Lenz
Those who scorn and hate the world and hate themselves miss the point. The point was that there wasn't one. There was no place to go to.
Frederick Lenz
In order to succeed on the athletic field, it is necessary to succeed in daily life. Your spirit and your life must be perfectly trimmed for the chi to flow properly.
