More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Your life is either getting brighter from moment to moment or it's not. If it's not getting brighter, it's because there's no risk. There's no risk in thinking instead of stopping your thought. There's a lot of risk in stopping your thought.
Frederick Lenz
On the pathway of knowledge we view life as in a dream. We feel that all of this world is a dream.
Frederick Lenz
In no way can words convey the nagual. But they open up the possibility. They allow an admission on the island of the tonal.
Frederick Lenz
Most people we observe who practice self-discovery just get caught up in a new description, a new ism, a new religion, a new god. But nothing changes.
Frederick Lenz
As the kundalini energy increases, as the energy of the psyche becomes more pronounced, which it does as thought becomes eclipsed by silence, all the variant mind states burn away.
Frederick Lenz
The world is empty - all of the people and places, the earth, the seas, mountains, deserts, forests and cities, and the beings that inhabit them, are unchangeable.
Frederick Lenz
We are trying to do our best to bring perfection into whatever we turn our attention to.
Frederick Lenz
Try and stop your thoughts. Be patient and then the kundalini will flow through you and bring about substantial changes in your awareness.
Frederick Lenz
You can get stuck in one state of mind or a general area of mind for a thousand lifetimes. Some states of mind afford better views than others.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
The path of Zen is not easy. It's wonderful. It's beautiful beyond compare. You will experience more ecstasy and beauty than most people will in a thousand lifetimes.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is the study of mind in all of its manifestations. The purpose of Zen is to be happy.
Frederick Lenz
I don't work with men who are antagonistic to the liberation of women. I do work with quite a number of men who are supportive of the enlightenment of women. Such men are rare.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra means the avoidance of a set or defined form of spirituality. Tantra is intuitive self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Mindfulness means that as we go through the day we learn to gain control of our mind, our emotions. We learn to conserve energy in a variety of simple and complicated ways that we learned in Buddhist practice.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.
Frederick Lenz
I am a teacher because teaching allows me to observe the universe at work, that moment when wakefulness suddenly occurs.
Frederick Lenz
You are on a vast wheel of birth and death. You have been through thousands of lifetimes, thousands yet to come.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra is non-dogmatic, in the sense that we don't care about the sensual world we don't care about other religious traditions. To not care doesn't mean that we don't learn.
Frederick Lenz
