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
Image
Thinking is usually a waste of time and energy, since thinking is essentially a rehashing of what we already know. As a matter of fact, thinking is an easy way to confuse yourself. The more you think, the less you know.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You can't just sit in emptiness. Even the enlightened don't sit in emptiness. We call it emptiness - but we move our mind into a world of light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you meditate with an enlightened teacher, you will feel something from them. They just dissolve completely, absorption in nirvana, where they don't even have physical contact with this world anymore.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you are not following dharma, then you will not be at peace. You will not be happy. The simplest things will seem to be endless obstacles.

The balance and patience factors are much more critical in surfing than they are in snowboarding ... if you're out surfing serious waves and you wipe out, you don't land on soft snow.

What does it mean to be psychic? Essentially it means to feel, rather than think all the time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The secret teaching was the bodhisattva ideal, to live for others, for the welfare of all beings. That's enlightenment, not some flashy state of luminosity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All living things have an aura, a rapidly vibrating, invisible psychic energy field that protects them from toxic, non-physical energies that would otherwise be detrimental to them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
The path of knowledge is said to be difficult in that it is the path of Samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you meditate and continue to have fun with yoga and Buddhism, you will amass knowledge and will move to a higher incarnation. In your next lifetime you will be much wiser, much happier.

Image
As long as it's a world, it has laws. Why, I don't know, it's just the way it is. In Nirvana, there are no laws.

Image
The art of spirituality is learning to be happy in any condition and in any circumstance. This is the art of love.

Image
With Zen we do it more through slight of hand, a very subtle and delicate shift in consciousness, which shifts the world. It's kind of done from the inside out.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no continuity at all. The universe isn't any particular way. It strictly depends upon perception.

Image
The mystical kundalini goes the other direction. It starts at the base of the spine, at the root chakra and goes up.
