More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Many sections are taken up with political discussions and how the way of the ruler, the merchant, the householder, and the army interact with the Tao.
Frederick Lenz
Personal power is really the issue. It is only through tremendous attention to detail that you will be able to gain personal power and searing self-honesty.
Frederick Lenz
There is no final stage in nirvana. Nirvana is beyond definition. It is not quantifiable.
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Buddhism is just a collection of things that work by doing them. And sometimes we add new things. We have electronic music we did not have it in Tibet.
Frederick Lenz
The human mind and the entire life process is chaotic. Chaos is not something that lacks order chaos has varieties of order within it.
Frederick Lenz
After several minutes, picture that your entire body is merging with the blue sky. Feel that you have become the infinite blue sky that stretches endlessly in every direction.
Frederick Lenz
Don't create a plastic image of what it is to be spiritual and try to become it. You won't be capable of it and that will frustrate you. Even if you could do it, if it's not really what you're like, you'll be miserable.
Frederick Lenz
Use career to develop yourself. Have fun with it. Dedicate your activities and your career, to eternity, and to enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
A better lifetime comes from not some karmic scale but from inner knowledge. Inner knowledge makes you happy. In other words, it is not as if someone is checking!
Frederick Lenz
A teacher is really invaluable. A teacher will instruct you in how to stabilize your energy field, increase it, and decrease the loss of energy in your life and how to be balanced, wise, and funny.
Frederick Lenz
I have yet to see a career that is similar in benefit as computer science for doing the advanced exercises.
Frederick Lenz
If you want to be liberated, if you choose to be what I am, then you've chosen freedom. You can do this.
Frederick Lenz
To not realize that everyone we think about affects us psychically, to not realize that life is a field of power, is criminal, in my opinion. If you are a sensitive and evolved being, it is simply criminal.
Frederick Lenz
I think it is very important to view life in terms of winning and losing until complete enlightenment has occurred.
Frederick Lenz
It's not going to be easy. It's the earth. What creates power in your life is when you perfect your mind, your career, and your associations with others.
Frederick Lenz
Will something else. Have dreams and believe in them. They don't have to come true. They are just as true as a dream is. Life itself is a dream.
Frederick Lenz
Emotions are there to enjoy life but they are not used in self-reflection because they inhibit a proper reflection. They gunk us up.
Frederick Lenz
Power doesn't make you happy. Actually, power without knowledge and balance is problematic. Power is something that will automatically follow when you have knowledge. The two are really the same, in a certain sense.
Frederick Lenz
I find it ironic to read stories about myself which have never occurred and are simply so absurd that they are comical. At other times, it is very painful to be so misinterpreted and vilified.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is all about secrets.
