More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There are different pathways - be it Zen, tantra, karma yoga, or jnana yoga. Different ways have been devised to do the same thing for different types of people according to their temperament.
Frederick Lenz
In Buddhist practice a great deal of time is spent practicing mandala meditation. You learn to visualize and hold simultaneous concepts in the mind during meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is pretty cool. You always exist in one form or another. You are a wave and you are changing and moving from one level to another.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate, you take charge of your life. You bring your conscious awareness to a new high point, where the vista is beyond any horizon.
Frederick Lenz
It is best to study from a teacher of ANY subject, as long as you focus on the teachings and NOT on the teacher. All of the real important answers to life's questions lie within your own mind.
Frederick Lenz
Fair Game Theory: If you are dumb enough to be drained by people then you are fair game.
Frederick Lenz
Do a strong work meditation all day. You won't be as exhausted as everyone else because you have been gaining a kind of internal power from your work.
Frederick Lenz
Discrimination means keeping the negative and unhappy thoughts away and allowing the pretty thoughts to come inside you.
Frederick Lenz
In the study of Zen you can learn how to strengthen and clarify your finite mind. Your finite mind is like a muscle when exercised it becomes stronger.
Frederick Lenz
You need a job. You need a career. You need a focus. Otherwise, you will just pick up lots of strange psychic energy because you are not focused.
Frederick Lenz
What you focus on you become. If you spend an hour or two a day meditating and focusing on light, then you will eventually become light.
Frederick Lenz
Mindfulness is paying attention to what is going on. Just look at beauty. Not just the beauty of things you see with your eyes, but beautiful feelings, beautiful awareness. There is no such thing as reality. Reality is what you make it.
Frederick Lenz
In deep meditation, all of the things that we call life, all of the combinations of experiences, fall away.
Frederick Lenz
People want power but not wisdom. Power without wisdom is a very dangerous thing. Better to have wisdom first.
Frederick Lenz
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
In Nirvana, it is you, my friend, who goes away. You take an eraser and erase yourself. It's like the Road Runner cartoons where in the middle of the cartoon, the hand of the artist appears on the screen and erases the Road Runner.
Frederick Lenz
Don't try and understand this with your mind. There will be no absolute knowing, no certainty in these thoughts and philosophies and ideas.
Frederick Lenz
You will have to put aside some things in your life, habits, ideas, ways of seeing life. You will have to learn new things, and then new things and then new things - forever.
Frederick Lenz
It's either good, bad or somewhere in between. It's either ying, yang or it's a combination. You're either male, female or somewhere in between. You've got to be somewhere on the map.
Frederick Lenz
