More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Very often, in order to bring about stillness we have to be tirelessly active in the outer world. You might suppose this would agitate the mind. It will not, if it is the dharma.
Frederick Lenz
The second stage of meditation begins when you can successfully stop thought for long periods of time. At this point you move beyond the awareness of this world.
Frederick Lenz
We throw you as many as you want, in this profession, and the more you want the more we'll give you, until you're so confused that you'll just beg for us to stop. Stop what? You're the one who started it - you're doing it anyway.
Frederick Lenz
A time comes when it isn't enough to read about Buddha, we wish to have that happen to ourselves. That's when we move from the exoteric to the esoteric, from religion to mysticism.
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
People always say, 'A good man is hard to find.' You've never heard that about women, have you?
Frederick Lenz
Be a perpetual beginner. Always be inspired. It is that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy.
Frederick Lenz
Only a pure heart, a completely pure heart can house eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Computer science is fascinating. As you study computer science, you will find that you develop your mind. It is literally like doing Buddhist exercises all day long.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened teacher simply expresses enlightenment in their life by living. It is the student's job to gain the teachings. The teacher's job is just to be perfectly enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
You're a refraction of the one light. You're a waveform of light. You're a fractal, a pattern that continuously changes.
Frederick Lenz
What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.
Frederick Lenz
In the West people spend most of their time and energy working. The problem is you are so tired from work that you don't have much energy to meditate - unless you use work in a tantric way.
Frederick Lenz
We are trying to do our best to bring perfection into whatever we turn our attention to.
Frederick Lenz
Even if you are focusing on a chakra, you don't want to do that for the whole period of meditation. There should be a point where you let go. Settle down. Get off the train of thought for a while.
Frederick Lenz
You don't want to become so sensitive that you can't interact with people in the world. If you get to that point, you are not practicing psychic development. You are running away from the world, and you've made yourself weak.
Frederick Lenz
Love does not seek to please itself, but offers itself and its life to others.
Frederick Lenz
Dharma is the Truth that all of existence is. It does not disagree with anything. It is the perception of existence in its purest formlessness.
Frederick Lenz
I consider those persons to be my students who come and meditate with me on a regular basis, who, in spite of the hardships and difficulties on the path of knowledge, still continue to try, and who respect me as I respect them.
Frederick Lenz
Think of what you love most in this world. This is what you will come back to in your next life.
Frederick Lenz
