Once in a while an enlightened teacher goes out into the world and spreads the dharma. They attract some attention, and it is a great spectacle to see who and why and what is drawn.

More quotes by 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
If you must go to a negative place of power, go to them in a very conservative way. You must go to them when your power is up. It is like going to war. You have got to be ready if you are going to survive.
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
If there wasn't a way around the samskaras, no one would ever become enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
You have but a short time to live in this world. As you age, you will experience the pains of aging. If your hopes and joys rest upon the body, then you will suffer greatly.
Frederick Lenz
The kundalini comes in two primary forms when it comes forward from a spiritual teacher.
Frederick Lenz
The study of Zen is a retraining. It is a series of new ways, not just one way, to learn to use your mind more efficiently.
Frederick Lenz
After the meditation session you have to be a little bit careful. If you start to think a lot of thoughts and become very active, you can prevent some of the meditative awareness from coming into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
I may discuss contemporary cinema, how to shop at a mall without losing energy, how to use the power of mind to increase career and academic success, the Zen of sports, reincarnation, karma, sex, the experience of suchness or a new book by Stephen King.
Frederick Lenz
We learn that those around us are an extension of ourselves, both animate and inanimate. All things have a life and form. We learn to love them all.
Frederick Lenz
Those who practice deserve your respect. If you respect them, you respect yourself. It's easy to be critical, but it does no good. What's important is to be supportive of all who practice.
Frederick Lenz
It takes a lot of energy to manipulate someone and keep them on a string.
Frederick Lenz
I love people who make mistakes. That's why I'm in the teaching business. I love people who make mistakes because I enjoy watching them learn and helping them, assisting them. I find it a beautiful process.
Frederick Lenz
I see people driving cars, winding down the streets. I don't know where these people think they're going. They're going to the funeral home that's about it.
Frederick Lenz
If you just keep giving constantly, if you don't really take thought of your own welfare and your own awareness, but just give, beyond exhaustion - then your life will always be a constant progression.
Frederick Lenz
You can take the kundalini from the crown center and bring it down. You can bring it up or you can stabilize them both. When you stop breathing in meditation, the kundalini is stabilized.
Frederick Lenz
Unlike the experience of nirvana, traveling to other dimensions will not take you beyond suffering, nor will it help you experience the limitless ecstasy of creation.
Frederick Lenz
Many souls thrive on the life force of others and you are lunch!
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is a dance. It is a movement of life to the rhythm of the universe. Spirit and matter join together as one dancing partner. They dance and it goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
We're connected to the Buddhist order, to the mind of enlightenment. All day long we draw the power and force from that world, from all the teachers and all the adherents of the practices and the principles.
