It's a good idea to be in the physical presence of the enlightened teacher because it's not physical. You can hear the ocean from quite a ways away, but if you're standing right in front of it, it's easier.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
If you think that material success will bring you happiness, relationships, people, places, things, fame, fortune, you definitely should not practice tantra.
Frederick Lenz

Meditation is the quickest path to enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
The aura of billions of people coats all experiences like a thick cloud of smog. Just to live on the earth is to live in that smog.
Frederick Lenz
The more lives you have, the harder it is to change, yet the stronger you are. It's a kind of funny dichotomy.
Frederick Lenz
All the joys in all the worlds of all beings who have ever been or will ever be, will never equal the perfection of one moment of absorption into the stillness of nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Don Juan speaks of the island of the tonal as something that's in the middle of the ocean ... the nagual.
Frederick Lenz
If you are trying to aid people in the process of self-discovery, what you have to do is confound them with so many concepts that are contradictory, yet each make complete sense in its own right.
Frederick Lenz
There is no point in being a responsible member of society, nor is there any point in being an irresponsible member of society. Both are very defined descriptions of selfhood
Frederick Lenz
Work sustains us as bodies and it consumes a great deal of energy. The conservation of energy is the component theme of Buddhist practice and yoga. That is why people live in monasteries.
Frederick Lenz
The tantras are ancient sacred books of India and Tibet. The tantras detail specific means for attaining liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Some come to a teacher for power. They still have all the desires, angers and jealousies of an unevolved person. Consequently, they become destructive both to themselves and to others.
Frederick Lenz
The kundalini is raised or brought down. It can be done in several different ways, and as it moves to the different chakras or energy centers in the subtle physical body, it endows one with various powers.
