I have found in the world of film many movies including Beyond Rangoon, The Crow, Gandhi, Doctor Zhivago, and The Big Blue, a French film, convey similar understandings. I'm sure the list is endless. These are just a few of my favorites.
Frederick Lenz
I consider those persons to be my students who come and meditate with me on a regular basis, who, in spite of the hardships and difficulties on the path of knowledge, still continue to try, and who respect me as I respect them.
Frederick Lenz
Each of the ten thousand states of mind presents you with a different view of essence and experience.
Frederick Lenz
Tonight is not the end of the world. This is our hot tip of the evening.
Frederick Lenz
We hide in relationships. We hide in material possessions. We hide in ambitions, secret desires, hates, frustrations, jealousy, self-ptiy, in our insecurity - and more than anything our vanity and our egotism.
Frederick Lenz
Psychic perception is a much more efficient and accurate method of seeing and knowing reality.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
