Frederick Lenz
Where is truth? Is there truth in what I am doing now?
Frederick Lenz
In the West when you talk about yin and yang, people normally think of yin and yang as something that's linear. But in the east we tend to think of yin and yang as circles. They're two circles that actually can lie on top of each other, yet they remain separate.
Frederick Lenz
As you become more aware of your own imperfections, you simultaneously become more aware of the overall perfection of the universe.
Frederick Lenz

Master Fwap, who told me that snowboarding, or any activity could be improved by the practice of meditation. Since I had had previously some training in Korean martial arts, I was somewhat open to the idea.
Frederick Lenz
A human being is bound by emotion, enslaved by their desires. A person is never really at peace with themselves because they live in the spectrum of human consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
I too have experienced the extreme pain of living, but I have also experienced some of its remarkable ecstasy.
Frederick Lenz
The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra is for the person who has gone beyond the rules. They've learned the rules so well that now they can go beyond them.
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
Mindfulness means that as we go through the day we learn to gain control of our mind, our emotions. We learn to conserve energy in a variety of simple and complicated ways that we learned in Buddhist practice.
Frederick Lenz
Never be bored. Energy lives off of attention. When you are bored you get drained.
Frederick Lenz
It is only when you have become that true Self consciously, when all these illusions have fallen away, that you will be perfectly free and perfectly happy.
