Very often, in order to bring about stillness we have to be tirelessly active in the outer world. You might suppose this would agitate the mind. It will not, if it is the dharma.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
If you respect it in others, you respect it in yourself.
Frederick Lenz
When you think an angry thought about someone, it's like hitting them.
Frederick Lenz
To know that these are people who for a moment, in glory, in light, were true warriors, and you had the chance to associate with them, to live with them, to share with them, words and moments of power - this is the nature of spiritual study.
Frederick Lenz
When matter stops, self-consciousness stops.
Frederick Lenz
There's no place to go. There's nothing to attain. There's nothing to be reached. Love itself is all that you want.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is subtle. Everything has a million sides. Everything is a manifestation of god. Everything is light. All beings are infinite. All things are perfect, in their own way.
Frederick Lenz
Keep your sense of humor. Stay funny.
Frederick Lenz
Some people have a very strange idea that material success does not coincide harmoniously with self-realization, which is absurd. The aversion to material success, or the clinging to it, is an attachment.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher is there to laugh at you because you have such a high opinion of yourself that you need to be laughed at. You need to sense how small we all are.
Frederick Lenz
The key to happiness, in my opinion, is taking the time to find out what your spirit wants you to do, and doing it.
Frederick Lenz
Women have allowed you to think that, which is a part of their inaccessibility in using their second attention.
Frederick Lenz
As you engage your mind in the scriptures, your mind will become pure.
Frederick Lenz
I have not in this lifetime yet met one person who earnestly seeks enlightenment in the West. Not one person.
Frederick Lenz
The bully on the block who beats up somebody doesn't become more powerful. All they do is walk around inside their own mind with an inflated ego.
Frederick Lenz
There is a lot of opposition. You will experience it. But the joys that come from the study, more than compensate for the opposition, in my opinion. It's a personal choice.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate with an enlightened teacher, you will feel something from them. They just dissolve completely, absorption in nirvana, where they don't even have physical contact with this world anymore.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes we have to be hard on ourselves. We've got to get on our case, if we are being sloppy, lazy, and indulgent.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra works well for people who are engaged in relationships and sexuality. Sex itself is just an action. It's just part of the dream.
Frederick Lenz
Turn your life into a field of power and energy to draw from.
Frederick Lenz
A person who is enlightened does not have to reincarnate, or they may. If they chose not to, they can go beyond the wheel, and slide into nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
