If we really reflect and discriminate, we'll find that all things are created by our perception, that all states exist within the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Karma means changing planes of reality or changing fields of attention. There will be perhaps a resulting physical action stemming from the change of these fields of attention.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Pain and suffering only occur in temporal time. They don't occur in the world of forever. They only occur in limited transient time, which is a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is necessary to be focused. This is the raison d'etre of career.

Tantric Zen is for someone who is really broad-minded. It is Bodhidharma's Zen, your Zen, my Zen. Which doesn't mean I have a problem with Japanese Zen. Most Japanese Zen is minding your p's and q's.

It's just not working. One nation trying to destroy another, one race trying to destroy another, one religion trying to destroy another - It's the same old story over and over again.

Self-knowledge, I guess, is hard. But I think pain is harder, personally. I think to be hopeless is very hard. I think to die without hope or to live without hope is very hard.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Consistency is nice, I think, personally. I like to be consistently happy. I like to be consistently more aware and more conscious of the truth.

Zen is a study. It's a discipline. It involves the active use of will to make things happen or not happen. These are the secrets of power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our life interferes, our mind, our thoughts. Meditating is not just a practice of asserting will and learning to control the mind, it is also developing control of one's life and gaining wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Continually reorder the mind and the mental structures, the ability to think in prescribed ways, to analyze in prescribed ways, and to stop thought for periods of time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are people who just can't handle life because they've thrown away too much of their reason.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The world you experience, every day and night of your life, is transient. They only last for the blink of an eye, and then they dissolve back into that unknowable and formless eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The only way you will advance spiritually is through humility.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We throw you as many as you want, in this profession, and the more you want the more we'll give you, until you're so confused that you'll just beg for us to stop. Stop what? You're the one who started it - you're doing it anyway.

Image
Say, for example, you develop the ability to make parking meters disappear. It's probably easier to put a quarter in it. That would be the wisdom on the subject.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz

When you meditate and still your mind, you will gain the wisdom of knowing things in this world, in other worlds and beyond worlds - it just comes to you.
