More quotes by Frederick Lenz
What these people do here is obviously not working. They sit in their commuter traffic hour after hour. They make the earth a toxic waste dump.
Frederick Lenz
The spirit of the West, of America, is different than the East. The cultural conditioning is very different. It seems to be harder for people to work in teams, more difficult for people here to live in harmony, in a monastery.
Frederick Lenz
The effort to lift one's self into perfect enlightenment is a profound thing. It has nothing to do with individual will. It's a refraction of the cosmos. The cosmos delights in itself.
Frederick Lenz
Taoism shows us how to deal with life and death by realizing everything here is transitory but its substance is eternal.
Frederick Lenz
If you are around a lot of human beings who are filled with jealousy and anger and rage and desire, it filters into the mind. Zen is writing a new program to run in the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Ask youself: Am I loving as deeply as I am capable of loving?
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
Sahaja samadhi means that you have just gone back and forth so many times that there is no back and forth. All you see is enlightenment in this world and the other side. There is no other side anymore. It means that you are wakeful.
Frederick Lenz
It's up to you to avail yourself to knowledge. Knowledge doesn't need you. The idea of a compassionate God was formulated, obviously, by someone who didn't want to do any work.
Frederick Lenz
If meditate on the third eye and have headaches it means you are trying to pull in too much power from the occult chakra. The danger is obsession.
Frederick Lenz
Never expect anything from a particular meditation. Once you have gotten started, different methods get you into the stream, let the meditation take you wherever it would like to.
Frederick Lenz
It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.
Frederick Lenz
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy.
Frederick Lenz
In the West people spend most of their time and energy working. The problem is you are so tired from work that you don't have much energy to meditate - unless you use work in a tantric way.
Frederick Lenz
We pass through hundreds, thousands, perhaps millions of existences. In each lifetime, we're exploring another part of our own self, which is eternity.
Frederick Lenz
The advanced student of meditation takes an active part in supporting the work of their teacher. They happily work more hours or do whatever is necessary to help out more.
Frederick Lenz
The word Guru, as it is used in the contemporary American scene, is someone who takes all your money and tells you what to do with your life. You assume no responsibility. A lot of people want that free ride.
Frederick Lenz
One of the traditional Tantric methods of mediation is to imagine that you are taking on the suffering of all beings.
Frederick Lenz
The Eightfold Path is ordering the island of the tonal completely.
Frederick Lenz
The integrity of the subtle body is totally important. As the subtle body wears, we get sick. That is why, eventually, the body dies - it's because something happens to the subtle body.
