Enlightenment
More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is part of everything and so our minds have to be very big to encompass all things, to understand all things - To see the tao in a grape, the act of sexuality, meditation, work, play, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, being sick and hurting.
Frederick Lenz
Love is the bridge that joins all the worlds together.
Frederick Lenz
People who meditate seek good moments forever. They know that there are other worlds beyond this world. They feel it. I experience those worlds when I meditate.
Frederick Lenz
What is enlightenment, anyway? I don't know if I can really put it into words, perhaps you can. I can't.
Frederick Lenz
What you focus on you become. If you spend an hour or two a day meditating and focusing on light, then you will eventually become light.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
There are certain protective forces in the universe that do watch over us, but the innocent die too.
Frederick Lenz
The Buddhist mind is more complicated than the Christian mind. It comes up with endless heavens, endless hells, endless earths, and then we have something lower than hell. We have endless sub-realms that make hell look like Club Med and we have endless nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
In the Bhagavad-Gita, a dialogue ensues in the middle of a battlefield, symbolizing the battlefield of life which we are fighting through our illusions.
Frederick Lenz
Things are not necessarily logical. Logic is a secondary source reference. Everything is what it is. We have decided to apply rationale to things. It makes us feel better.
Frederick Lenz
The primary place where most people lose energy is in their relationships with others. That means you lose your energy in your interactions with the people you know best.
Frederick Lenz
It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.
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
In the Bhagavad-Gita Krishna says: Arjuna you cannot avoid action. Everyone is stuck in the world of action. The world of action is forever.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't feel grateful, if you're discouraged or depressed, then think of the fact that things could be a lot worse than they are.
Frederick Lenz
I can throw a great party, but I don't know how to go to one. I can throw a party because when you throw a party you just work all the time. But I could never go to a party because I wouldn't know what to do ... I'd immediately find the kitchen and start to serve food.
Frederick Lenz
Anyone has the ability, if they choose, to move to the higher end of the state of mind they are in. From that higher end, they can generate another state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
When we practice mindfulness, our nonphysical side merges with the nonphysical side of that which we are experiencing.
Frederick Lenz
