More quotes by Frederick Lenz
A critical part of Tantric Buddhism is a process of turning of the activities and experiences in your daily life into meditation.
Frederick Lenz
People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Do not be selfish and feel new people will take more of the teacher's attention and you won't get it. That's nonsense. With that attitude, you won't get it. The teacher sees that attitude and will have very little to do with you.
Frederick Lenz
There is a sense of competition in Zen. You are competing with your thoughts and trying to overcome them.
Frederick Lenz
Before perception, before a preceiver, existence was - is. This is the consciousness that we refer to as nirvana, God, eternity.

Frederick Lenz
Don't run away from the world. The world is God. Don't run towards the world. God is the void. Don't be afraid of the complexities of this life, nor the stark simplicity of death.
Frederick Lenz
When self-consciousness stops, there is nothing -nothing left to stop, start, begin or end.
Frederick Lenz
The Akashic Records are the impressions from all of our past lives that are available within our causal body.
Frederick Lenz
As you learn to love the company of the holy, your heart will become pure.
Frederick Lenz
There wasn't a single day in which the world was created. It's created anew at every moment. The structures of eternity are completely fluid but they are bound together by the mind forming a nexus point so reality comes into being.
Frederick Lenz
The body comes and goes. This life, my friend, will come and go. It is a fleeting moment, an impulse in an eternal reality.
Frederick Lenz
The reason a person is in a particular state of mind is primarily because of attraction and aversion. Attraction and aversion cause us to format a mental or intellectual program.
Frederick Lenz
At the same time, I went through college, received a Ph.D. and started to teach. I wrote books.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is an ocean of awareness that slides through the human part of us and dissolves it, and leaves us forever in eternity.
Frederick Lenz
If you have the sense of participation in sports or athletics, of being a player, then you are not really into the Zen mind. In Zen mind there is no sense of self in the play.
Frederick Lenz
Old Zen is the way of nothingness, the way of having a good time.
Frederick Lenz
You cannot compel someone to love. Love is like the wind. It comes when it does, it stops when it does, it changes direction when it does. Who are you and I to criticize the wind?
Frederick Lenz
There are people who just can't handle life because they've thrown away too much of their reason.
