More quotes by Frederick Lenz
For the person who wants to get to the mystical experience directly, Tantric Buddhism is the path.
Frederick Lenz
The thing about Buddhism is that it stresses attainment of something ineffable, that is where it differs from other religions in that it's more correct. We live in a world with promises of paradise.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings actually have quite a bit of willpower. They don't know too much about it, but they have quite a bit.
Frederick Lenz
Our seeing is sexual initially.
Frederick Lenz
The tantras can be very confusing for a person who is new to Buddhism, and for several thousand years the rule was not to expose a person or a new monk to the tantras until they had practiced for many, many years.
Frederick Lenz
I don't engage in brainwashing, I don't dictate forms of lifestyle, I don't perform mass marriages or even singular marriages. I don't tell people what to believe.
Frederick Lenz
We label things through value systems that we have developed. But nothing is or is not unless we feel it is that way. We give ground to reality by creating it.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism suggests there are no elect. Everything rests upon your own self-effort, which is the good news because that means you don't have to wait around for some nebulous God to help you.
Frederick Lenz
This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.
Frederick Lenz
If you are with a fully enlightened being, a jivan mukta, liberated soul, the quality of light is so clear, that you don't really know that it is there until later.
Frederick Lenz
Your life is pure joy, pure ecstasy, when you live in humility.
Frederick Lenz
Those who pursue a worldy life - who try to get others to do what they want, to peform for them, who use and abuse in the name of their own happiness - are miserable.
Frederick Lenz
Occasionally, in each age and in different lands, a Buddha is born, that is to say, an enlightened person...they re-codify the ways, the practices, they make changes that are just intelligent changes that adapt to a new century, a new culture.
Frederick Lenz
At the umbilical region we actually network with people. Picture that you are cutting those cords to everyone you know. It doesn't mean you don't love them you are just cutting down on the negative energy pickup from people.
Frederick Lenz
I am very interested in the enlightenment of women. Very few teachers of advanced self discovery work with women, and if they do it's usually in a very second handed way. They treat women as second class citizens.
Frederick Lenz
Pain and frustration vanish in the sunlight of your smile.
Frederick Lenz
Power is everywhere when you can see it and find it. It is nowhere when you can't.
Frederick Lenz
The danger to power is obsession - power junkies. You need a very strong mind and humor to balance yourself. If you don't, you will get shredded.
Frederick Lenz
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
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
