Mindfulness is passive meditation. It is passive because your energy and your attention are divided between your actions and your practice, your meditation.

More quotes by 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
As we hate ourselves less, we tend to hate other people less too.
Frederick Lenz
Be the exceptional being who separates themselves from the herd and the fate of the herd.
Frederick Lenz
In tantra one does not seek experiences that most people would consider unspiritual and try to see truth in them. In tantra we don't try to guide our life in a specific way. We let the winds of existence blow us where they will.
Frederick Lenz
Where you live is important. It is where you dream. You lose or gain a tremendous amount of energy there.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is the other side, the source of all things, where all the aggregates come from, where the templates of infinity are.
Frederick Lenz
There are those who will seek to block you. There are also non-physical forces. To win in the world of enlightenment, it is necessary to be able to will away these forces, to see they're insubstantial.
Frederick Lenz
Ultimately, thinking is a very inefficient method of processing data.
Frederick Lenz
The mantra is a very preliminary exercise for the student to begin to grasp a sense of focus. When they are used by persons who have reached very high levels of attention, they can open up doorways to other worlds.
Frederick Lenz
Nature is our friend - trees, squirrels, grass, fields, meadows, oceans - without people. Hike. Walk. Stroll. Bike. Swim. Be in a still place and feel eternity. Have a great time. Just feel it.
Frederick Lenz
Be kind, be loving, be generous. Give of yourself, give of your time and you'll be free. It's the oldest secret, the one thats most often forgotten - and that is to have fun through giving.
Frederick Lenz
At the time of death we walk through a doorway and our spirit, which is very thin, slides through into another world.
Frederick Lenz
If a person sets out to practice meditation in this lifetime and they have a little bit of spiritual evolution behind them and they're quite dedicated, it really is not at all an impossible task to enter into salvakalpa samadhi in this particular lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
Look for the things in your life that bring you stillness and happiness, not the things that make you crazy. Look inside yourself and look for that perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz
When we dream, we create. All of life is a dream or a series of waking dreams. We dream our surroundings. We dream our friends, our relations. We dream our bodies. We dream our dreams.
Frederick Lenz
If you learn to lead your life strategically and strongly, you can overcome the opposition. But running away, you never overcome anything. The pathway to enlightenment is for the warrior, the samurai.
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is a dance. It is a movement of life to the rhythm of the universe. Spirit and matter join together as one dancing partner. They dance and it goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
There is a sense of competition in Zen. You are competing with your thoughts and trying to overcome them.
Frederick Lenz
Some people see teachers and they associate the feelings of the other students who are present with the teacher. They psychically connect with all those hundreds of minds and they don't key to the teacher at all.
Frederick Lenz
There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch you off guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.
