Life isn't complicated. The reason it appears complicated to you is because you are in a very distorted state of mind. That's the basic premise of Buddhism - that you're in a very distorted state of mind.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
We don't always walk from one state of mind into another. We might just oscillate back and forth for a whole lifetime within the polarities of a certain state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
You can go to India and you can see gurus go into samadhi. But when they come out of samadhi, they're nasty. They're egocentric. They don't have a deep regard or understanding of what life is. It's just a little trick they can do, a one-trick pony.
Frederick Lenz
There's no right or wrong in the study of enlightenment. There's only experience.
Frederick Lenz
In tantra, samsara is viewed as the same thing as nirvana. Eating a hamburger is meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Things that are impossible - are everyday experiences when you live in advanced states of mind. You live in a world of constant miraculous awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Knowledge of the Enlightenment Cycle, of the ways that inner dimensions and nirvana work, lifts you far above the transient sorrows, pains, pleasures and joys that the unenlightened masses experience.
Frederick Lenz
We see that love manifested normally in the soldier, in the parent, in the lover, and in the spiritual teacher.
Frederick Lenz
At the same time, I went through college, received a Ph.D. and started to teach. I wrote books.
Frederick Lenz
Love is, in its essence, a free, formless strand of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy.
Frederick Lenz
As a student of enlightenment your attitude should not be to become enlightened. It should be to learn.
Frederick Lenz
The members of the Atlantean Mystery School were the earliest human explorers of the frontiers of inner space. Through their meditative journeys and explorations, they discovered many secret astral passageways that led to an infinite variety of other worlds and dimensions.
Frederick Lenz
People think they can tame the earth. How absurd! The vanity of human wishes is endless. It is more fun to dance with life.
Frederick Lenz
In this prison camp, the Gestapo state brain-police planet Earth, what is normal is insane and what is insane is normal. But it doesn't pay to tell that to the local politicians or other organizational structures that run the place that. They didn't crucify Christ because they liked what he said.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is discipline - the discipline of living life, the discipline of taking a breath, the discipline of not knowing and not trying to know.
Frederick Lenz
What can be the dharma at one point in your life can totally reverse itself, and suddenly you might be doing something the opposite or something very new, something you never considered.
Frederick Lenz
Eternity becomes more beautiful as we age, if we age well. If we age poorly, then we don't improve our minds we don't refine all the aspects of our being.
Frederick Lenz
Just to exist, just to be, to take a breath, to feel that, whether its pleasure or pain, loss or gain, just your experience in life is unique to you. No one sees life like you do.
Frederick Lenz
If you suffer in love, if you have problems in love, it's because you don't have enough humility.
Frederick Lenz
If your parents were strong in one way and weak in another, you will be strong in the same way and weak in the same way. Even though you detest the weakness in them, you will find that you will do exactly the same things because they imprinted you.
Frederick Lenz
