Frederick Lenz
Image
I studied with a number of different teachers. But really, I've never studied with teachers. To be honest, the only thing that's ever interested me in life is eternity. Nothing else makes any sense to me.

Old Zen was very funny there was a great deal of humor and happiness. Zen today seems much drier. While there's a certain amount of humor, it seems to lack that total intensity because humor is one of the primary tools for liberation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It's just not working. One nation trying to destroy another, one race trying to destroy another, one religion trying to destroy another - It's the same old story over and over again.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Ten Commandments have a social purpose, for people who still need a social purpose.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Discrimination involves reflection and absorption.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
We don't live forever. We have a limited energy. You have to determine those things that you direct your energy towards, otherwise you get yourself in too many places and nothing succeeds.
