Meditation is coming back to your original self, if we can use self without a sense of self. It's perfect, clear light, radiant, infinite mind of the universe, as it is, without identifying with qualities

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
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
If you want to help people, if you care, go to the cities. The city is where the pain is the greatest - and the cities are a hell of a lot of fun if you like art, movies and plays.
Frederick Lenz
Wisdom, in the world of enlightenment, is not gained through conversation. Wisdom and enlightenment is something that you gain by making the mind still.
Frederick Lenz
The person who practices advanced meditation is usually not married, some are. They usually don't have children, some do. But chances are they will not marry or have children because it demands to much time.
Frederick Lenz
In Buddhist Yoga, we refer to our mutlilife karmic traits as samskaras. They are the internal karmic patterns that make each of us who we are.
Frederick Lenz
Have a wonderful sense of humor, particularly about yourself and your own situation. Yet don't simply laugh. Work to change and improve things even though, at times, it seems impossible.
Frederick Lenz
Self-acceptance is involved in this process. You have got to be able to look at both your dark and your light side and not get enamored or depressed by either.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is made up of an endless ocean of life itself. It is an endless ocean of itself. And for a time it binds itself together in particularized forms. Those forms have perception and they perceive themselves as being separate.
Frederick Lenz
There is no self, yet we all exist. All phenomena are empty, yet they have Buddha nature.
Frederick Lenz
We have to push ourselves to stillness - to the natural state.
Frederick Lenz
When your thoughts come and you're trying to stop them, simply say No. Learn the mantra No. Every time a thought comes in your mind ... just say no.
Frederick Lenz
A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.
Frederick Lenz
After enlightenment your body changes tremendously its very molecular structure changes just because the kundalini is always streaming through you.
Frederick Lenz
Physical perfection, working out, adds to your spiritual perfection if that is your intent.
Frederick Lenz
Move the kundalini from the solar plexus region into the heart center, which purifies it and connects the two halves of you being. Bring the kundalini down again from the heart center to the navel center.
Frederick Lenz
The purpose of enlightenment is certainly not the teacher, nor is it you. It doesn't have a purpose. Enlightenment simply exists.
Frederick Lenz
Don't try to be someone. Be yourself. This is what mediation should teach you.
Frederick Lenz
We're blind, deaf and dumb. It is only that Self, which is our life force that makes who and what we are. The realization of that is self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
We have to constantly ask ourselves: Who am I?
Frederick Lenz
How can you give something to someone who has everything? If you think men are tough to shop for at Christmas, try God. God has everything except one thing, friends. God doesn't have friends.
Frederick Lenz
