More quotes by Frederick Lenz
We see an enlightened teacher to gain a sense of humor, to learn balance and proportion and of course to learn wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Dreams are real. This is unreal. This world is unreal. Everybody has it backwards. This is the dream. This is an insubstantial pageant. Nothing here lasts - that is how you know it's the dream.
Frederick Lenz
Granted, in order to give selflessly, one often starts giving selfishly. As Tiresias said to Odysseus: Honey ... you don't get through hell in a hurry
Frederick Lenz
In the second stage we stop thought for limited periods of time.
Frederick Lenz
Death is only a summer vacation for us. We don't really change or lose what we have learned or who we have been when we die, because we are our karma.
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
The Buddha taught three cycles of teachings. His first cycle of teachings cover the basics, the prerequisites. This would include the Dharmapada.
Frederick Lenz
When it reaches a blockage, water find the easiest path around the blockage, or it continues to assemble, and flows over the blockage.
Frederick Lenz
A saint is someone who has been very selfless and, over a period of lifetimes, generated a tremendous amount of good karma, which has caused them to enter into very lovely states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Many people excuse themselves by claiming that they don't have to do work anymore because they are beyond it. They are simply afraid of getting their hands dirty. Getting your hands dirty washes your being.
Frederick Lenz
I explored alternate states of consciousness at one period of my life through psychedelics, as was the fashion with all my friends.
Frederick Lenz
Only until you rise above the use of the second attention for manipulation that you can enter into a consciousness in which there is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
You can take power from others you can steal it. It is not a very high-grade power. It will give you a certain amount of access to a better life but it corrupts the individual.
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
Krishna suprises Arjuna. He says go fight, go kill. Do this because it's only play money. You can't kill your friends any more than they can kill you.
Frederick Lenz
I have not in this lifetime yet met one person who earnestly seeks enlightenment in the West. Not one person.
Frederick Lenz
You have all died many times before and none of you look the worse for it.
Frederick Lenz
There is a beautiful flow to the study of Zen. If it is not making you happier, then you are not practicing correctly.
Frederick Lenz
Can you control your anger, lust, frustrations, and jealousies? Those are the only people worthy of the higher teachings. By worthy, I mean that they are the only ones capable of it.
Frederick Lenz
Two people can be work at the same job, side by side. One person is working just for a paycheck. Another is working to perfect their being. Some people think that the material world will make them happy.
