More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There is no such thing as completion. These are only stages in an endless progression. There are no final outcomes or decisions, since nothing ever stays the same.
Frederick Lenz
We have to constantly ask ourselves: Who am I?
Frederick Lenz
The art of spirituality is learning to be happy in any condition and in any circumstance. This is the art of love.
Frederick Lenz
All things are spiritual. It doesn't matter what you do or who you are or what kind of blue jeans you wear, or whether you wear an ochre robe or whether you're sober or asleep or dreaming. It's all the same.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. I don't feel that's really up to us. That happens at a certain time when our being has gone through countless changes and refinements.
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
Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.
Frederick Lenz
It's only illusions that destroy us. It's illusions that convince us that we can't. It's the illusions of the transient that tell us that all this matters.
Frederick Lenz
You are caught in an empty house, in a box, in a place that is not happy. You are trapped inside you and wherever you go, there you are.
Frederick Lenz
If you want to succeed always associate with winners, people who have understood something. You will notice that they all share something in common, tremendous attention to detail in their personal lives and associations.
Frederick Lenz
All those moments spent in concetration will give you a terrific strength and with that strength you will cut aside all illusions.
Frederick Lenz
The Buddha taught three cycles of teachings. His first cycle of teachings cover the basics, the prerequisites. This would include the Dharmapada.
Frederick Lenz
There are other times. There are other adventures. There are other dreams .
Frederick Lenz
The ego is not harmonious with happiness and spiritual development. In the process of spiritual transformation we refine it. In the fire of love we melt the ego down.
Frederick Lenz
Programming will aid a person in developing their mind and will aid their meditation. I find that people who have pursued programming are doing much better in their meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The advanced student of meditation takes an active part in supporting the work of their teacher. They happily work more hours or do whatever is necessary to help out more.
Frederick Lenz
Sisterhood is powerful. Woman can support each other as women, in their pursuit for enlightenment or anything else, without fear. But as long as she's still in the commodities exchange market, buying and selling, she must fear the competition.
Frederick Lenz
If you go too far, it'll blow your mind. I mean it's strong out there. If you go out too far beyond the bounds of attention, there are things in the universe, in the universes of mind, in the inner worlds, it's best sometimes not to deal with unless you're very, very far along.
Frederick Lenz
The mind is like a computer. It runs programs. Most of the software has been poorly written. It is written in the language of fear.
Frederick Lenz
The majority of times when a man thinks he has been the instigator, which men like to think, in sexual and romantic experiences, that has not been the case.
Frederick Lenz
