More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we're stuck in.
Frederick Lenz
What you gain in internal knowledge goes from one lifetime to another. It is not wasted. Unlike those stone edifices that will fade, your internal knowledge will stay with you from one incarnation to another.
Frederick Lenz
A real liberated teacher never asks for a commitment from a student. That's absurd, a person wants to be there and they want to learn everything they can.
Frederick Lenz
In enlightenment you have to convince a teacher not only that you are worthy of teaching, but then that they should show you some of the secrets.
Frederick Lenz
It takes tremendous self-restraint on the part of the student not to want to monopolize the teacher's attention, to live a very controlled life and a happy life, and of course, be dedicated to the cause.
Frederick Lenz
A human being is bound by emotion, enslaved by their desires. A person is never really at peace with themselves because they live in the spectrum of human consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
If you have a boring, insipid, mouse-like life where you're just afraid to be or do anything, then you don't bring much into your next life. You don't bring much power.
Frederick Lenz
Zen students see themselves as athletes. Their competitive sport is enlightenment only with enlightenment do we compete.
Frederick Lenz
You don't have to meditate. You don't have to practice self-discovery and Buddhism. You should only practice self-discovery if you really have had it with the human world.
Frederick Lenz
To know that these are people who for a moment, in glory, in light, were true warriors, and you had the chance to associate with them, to live with them, to share with them, words and moments of power - this is the nature of spiritual study.
Frederick Lenz
There is a whole crazy world around you. You can't control it, so don't even try. Because the more you try to control your environment, the more it controls you.
Frederick Lenz
When we meditate and we are able to stop thought, we get a sense of being beyond the body. Our consciousness expands and we see ourselves as beings of light.
Frederick Lenz
I see people driving cars, winding down the streets. I don't know where these people think they're going. They're going to the funeral home that's about it.
Frederick Lenz
There is a way beyond this life and beyond death, the path of liberation. In order to be liberated, you have to enter into the world of advanced meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Feel the wind. This wind blows from world to world and from life to death. This is the wind of dharma. Be in love with the wind. It is an intimate lover. It enraptures you. It blows you through eternity.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them, to learn to be perfect in your meditation, and to win in all your endeavors so that one day you will complete again.
Frederick Lenz
Any of the exercises that you start out with will get the kundalini moving. You don't have to stay with them for the entire period of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The first sexual experience is a significant imprinting of attention.
Frederick Lenz
You might have a warrior spirit in there somewhere, and it's just waiting for the opportunity to come out. If you do, you might be a candidate for the pathway to enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is always ecstasy and it's always perfect, but we don't perceive it that well. If we keep doing our yoga in every lifetime, we perceive it more correctly.
Frederick Lenz
