When you stop all thought, the battle is won. Everything is still and peaceful. You will come to see the eternal voidness of all things. You will see that nothing is, really.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
As you pass through bhakti yoga, as you pass through love, you're elated. You're fulfilled and you're joyous.
Frederick Lenz
How can you give something to someone who has everything? If you think men are tough to shop for at Christmas, try God. God has everything except one thing, friends. God doesn't have friends.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is something that you don't postpone. If you are postponing happiness - it is something you will probably never experience much of.
Frederick Lenz
Since you're going to die anyway, why not go do whatever it is you are in the mood to do. To postpone anything is ridiculous, if it's important to you.
Frederick Lenz
A lot of energy is lost to false teachers. Wherever dependency is created, energy is lost.
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
If your're not having a very good time with your life, its because you haven't done much for others. You may have done many things but you havent done much for those around you.
Frederick Lenz
When you live a life devoid of ritual and convention, with honesty and self-effacement, then you are on the road to freedom.
Frederick Lenz
The only reason you feel pain is because you're so busy looking at yourself instead of looking at the wonderful patterns of light. If you become absorbed in the wonderful patterns of light, then there's no pain.
Frederick Lenz
The personality structure at the time of death dissolves. You will never be exactly the you you are again.
Frederick Lenz
We are made up of nothing. There is no self. We are whatever we decide we are.
Frederick Lenz
In the big picture we are all eternal.
Frederick Lenz
Unfortunately we've seen meditation insulted in a sense with the image of ritual. You have to dress a certain way, follow a certain type of lifestyle, all that sort of thing, very culty - and that, of course, has nothing to do with the practice whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
Have a wonderful sense of humor, particularly about yourself and your own situation. Yet don't simply laugh. Work to change and improve things even though, at times, it seems impossible.
Frederick Lenz
No one's lazy. What we would call the laziest person on earth expends a tremendous amount of energy to not do things.
Frederick Lenz
This lifetime right now you have a specific destiny. You are destined to die at a certain time, to make a certain amount of money, to have certain associations and friendships.
Frederick Lenz
Let us say that you wanted a romantic partner who is in a higher sate of mind, a nicer person. The reason you will meet that person is because you are in a state of mind that will cause that meeting to occur.
Frederick Lenz
Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.
Frederick Lenz
In our world, in our pre-World War III condition, meditation is considered a cult activity and people who practice self-discovery are actually persecuted and ridiculed.
Frederick Lenz
It doesn't really matter what you do. It is your state of mind that matters.
