More quotes by Frederick Lenz
A lot of people have this live or die attitude with mediation. It has to be all or nothing. I don't think it should be. It's a study that you follow for the rest of your life.
Frederick Lenz
Learn the motions of infinity within your mind. Your mind becomes a perfect mirror to the motions of infinity.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person doesn't know it all. Enlightenment simply means walking beyond this and all worlds into nirvana, which is beyond knowledge and ignorance.
Frederick Lenz
When we talk, answer questions, I'm addressing your tonal. I'm teaching you a way or a series of ways of dealing with the world.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is innocence, the innocence of lack of self. Desire is innocent unless it's connected with self.
Frederick Lenz
Whatever you want you can get, when you understand the secret of will. But wisdom is needed so that you do not use your will abusively because you'll get hurt.
Frederick Lenz
Review your description of the world, what it is to be a woman, and see how inadequate it is.
Frederick Lenz
The teacher is transmitting pure awareness and consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.
Frederick Lenz
Some people travel to other dimensions in their astral bodies when they meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Sexuality, I think, is a little bit different, for me, than it is for most people, in that there's almost no body awareness whatsoever. It's just light, but that's how everything is for me.
Frederick Lenz
Naturally, to follow dharma, we have to find out what it is. You have to struggle with it. The answer will not come easily. You will be swayed by your desires, conditioning, and those around you who have ideas about what you should do, what is proper, what is improper.
Frederick Lenz
Knowing about reincarnation helps us relax. It assists us with an understanding of death and dying. Death is not an end, quite the contrary.
Frederick Lenz
We're not really indigenous to this world, this world being a temporal plane of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving means forgeting about yourself. It means letting go and doing something crazy.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is something that is indigenous to the heart, which makes it hard to talk about. We don't necessarily need to talk about it too much other than to get a sense of the practice.
Frederick Lenz
Emotional control is essential for attaining higher levels of mind. The thing that the teacher looks for in a student is the degree of self-control, not coldness that someone has.
Frederick Lenz
It's not going to be easy. It's the earth. What creates power in your life is when you perfect your mind, your career, and your associations with others.
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 you can't hold a person in your mind with a good thought, it is better not to think about them at all.
Frederick Lenz
