More quotes by Frederick Lenz
I meet people who neglect career. Their lives aren't centered at all. They don't have much money. They have this spaced-out look in their eyes. Their chances for enlightenment are very small, unless they change the way they live.
Frederick Lenz
All I have to teach you are feelings, the words don't matter much. But as you listen, feel the stillness of my mind, not my mind but of mind...infinite mind.
Frederick Lenz
Universities are very clarifying places of power, because everyone is focused on trying to figure out exactly what to do with their lives.
Frederick Lenz
In enlightenment you have to convince a teacher not only that you are worthy of teaching, but then that they should show you some of the secrets.
Frederick Lenz
I deal with two types of students. Those who have a very deep-seated knowledge of love, which are few, or those in all their lives have ignored love.
Frederick Lenz
In the Zen of sports and athletics, we seek to bring discipline and control into our physical movements, but at the same time to eliminate the self that gets in the way of perfect play.
Frederick Lenz
I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Your ability to still your mind through the process of meditation and inner reflection and outer change brings a stillness to the mind all the time, even in the midst of the busiest activities.
Frederick Lenz
When I'm in the second attention, when I stop looking through eyes that have been formed for me by others, I see something else. I see power.
Frederick Lenz
Plants can help you they have a very strong vibrational force. If you've made friends with several of them, they will come and aid you when you've reached that critical moment and you're at a crossroads of knowledge.
Frederick Lenz
Continually reorder the mind and the mental structures, the ability to think in prescribed ways, to analyze in prescribed ways, and to stop thought for periods of time.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is a refocusing on symbols. It's not emptiness. We are using symbols, doorways to step from one world to another, from darkness into light, from death to immortality.
Frederick Lenz
I think everyone is equally psychic. But through the practice of meditation, you learn to make your thoughts quiet and become more aware of your innate psychic abilities.
Frederick Lenz
Satori is a brief flash. Suddenly the light breaks through. For a short timeless time we experience eternity in its unmanifest form. It's comparable to salvikalpa samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is the other side, the source of all things, where all the aggregates come from, where the templates of infinity are.
Frederick Lenz
Keep your mind centered on that which leads to light, intensively. Accept no substitute.
Frederick Lenz
There's a source, there's a perennial source from which all things come forth. We call it the Godhead, Nirvana, the Tao, enlightenment. It's big it's bright it's perfect, as are all of its children, as are we.
Frederick Lenz
If you are happier than you have ever been, then your power is increasing. But is it a fast a rate of climb as you would like?
Frederick Lenz
Who wants to be stuck in being religious and being spiritual either? That's not freedom. You've just exchanged handcuffs for leg irons - which doesn't mean that you should avoid enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
In my very early childhood, when I was only 3 or 4 or 5, I would enter for many hours into meditative states in which the world would become light and energy and I would transcend the boundaries of the senses.
Frederick Lenz
