Frederick Lenz
All physical and nonphysical things have another side, a side that is not visible to the senses or accessible to the reasoning mind, a side that can only be known and experienced intuitively by emptying one's own mind of thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not emptiness. That is a way of trying to talk about something that is impossible to put into words. It is a world of fullness, if anything.
Frederick Lenz
Even sickness becomes an experience that we pass through in happiness because our happiness is not dependent upon how our body feels, but how our spirit feels.
Frederick Lenz
In the West, we think of sports and athletics as individual achievement, the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat it all revolves around the ego. This has nothing to do with the Zen of sports and athletics.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is not a finite state. It's not something that you just do and it's done. It goes on forever.
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.
