More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment has nothing to do with physical knowledge. It is the experience of existence. Existence is infinite. There are countless universes and creations taking place simultaneously.
Frederick Lenz
Love is, in its essence, a free, formless strand of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
It was a time period in the 1960, when a generation of souls looked at the established society, looked at the pettiness, the greed, the hate, and rejected it and tried to create something new. Their creation neither succeeded nor failed. It was another experience.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the art of life. Meditation is not simply a practice. It is an experience, awareness, and a way of perceiving life.
Frederick Lenz
Don't try to be someone. Be yourself. This is what mediation should teach you.
Frederick Lenz
Both Zen and mysticsm have this beautiful quality of happiness and laughter, which I think is so necessary in our modern age.
Frederick Lenz
Your dharma is what kind of work you should be doing, what kind of people you should associate with, whether you should have a teacher or not. Dharma encompasses all things and it is specific to the individual.
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
Some people go into tantra with the idea, sort of an intellectual approach, that now they can just do everything and stay high. That doesn't work at all.
Frederick Lenz
From the point of view of enlightenment, none of this has ever even been. All time and space, all the conditions that are apparent in the absence of enlightenment are unreal.
Frederick Lenz
People who drain others have a certain world they want to get to when they die, and you're their ticket!
Frederick Lenz
The second stage of meditation begins when you can successfully stop thought for long periods of time. At this point you move beyond the awareness of this world.
Frederick Lenz
You can't die. Bodies come and go but your spirit is eternal. You're the stuff that life is.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation essentially means having a great time. Some people have applied a sense or a feeling to the meditative experience, such that, meditation has become a quantifiable religious experience, which means it's not any fun!
Frederick Lenz
Some people are like psychic sponges, they drain power form others constantly. They lower your awareness because they are at a lower level. If you spend too much time with them, you get pulled down.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is a state of perpetual bliss and ecstasy, unaffected by the transient ups and downs of its own creations.
Frederick Lenz
Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.
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
To think you can just go out and help people and somehow get a better life is not reincarnation as I know it. A better life comes from being happy and inner realizations. Now if helping others adds to that, well then, it's great.
Frederick Lenz
If you live for a very long while, you will have to watch your friends and loved ones die, your body age and lose its beauty and vigor, and your mental capacities fade.
Frederick Lenz
