Do not be selfish and feel new people will take more of the teacher's attention and you won't get it. That's nonsense. With that attitude, you won't get it. The teacher sees that attitude and will have very little to do with you.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
That's why we call this a dark age. It's a dark age in the sense that there are so many people on the earth who are un-attuned that they create such a level of white noise, in a sense, that it drowns out things that we'd like to see.
Frederick Lenz
In addition to innocence, we have to have knowledge of good and evil.
Frederick Lenz
I recommend, for many people, the study of computer science. Our natural resource in America is the mind. The mindset in computer science is very similar to the mindset in Zen.
Frederick Lenz
The chakra is a doorway. These are doorways that lead you into other dimensions. But you have to focus on them to the exclusion of everything else.
Frederick Lenz
The Eightfold Path is ordering the island of the tonal completely.
Frederick Lenz
You're in a world of diversity. You see things through a glass darkly. There is a separation everywhere.
Frederick Lenz
The Buddhist mindset seeks to eliminate the self. That is to say, what we want to experience is life, not self. When there's less self and more life, we're very content, and when there's more self and less life we're quite unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond matter is spirit and in spirit there is nothing but love.
Frederick Lenz
Learn from the purity of nature.
Frederick Lenz
You must have tremendous power of focus to direct your life and not allow all these variant forces, different vibrations, to enter you.
Frederick Lenz
Psychic development makes you strong. It develops a common sense attitude in which you don't expose yourself to forces, people and situations that would drain you.
Frederick Lenz
If your nature is infinite awareness trapped in a body, suddenly there's a lack of happiness, a lack of freedom. No matter what you get you'll never be happy, because these are all trinkets.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightened teachers are not logical. They don't function from levels that are understandable to the human mind. They're not religious. Religions form around them, usually after they've died.
Frederick Lenz
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
You're an emanation of enlightenment. Enlightenment, which is the universe, has created the hallucination that is you in a form that shifts.
Frederick Lenz
A person who wants to progress more rapidly and wishes to overcome unhappiness sooner, should try to find an enlightened master.
Frederick Lenz
The ideas that we have about self are an aggregate within a state of mind, and they chain us to a state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
No matter how many times you have failed you must keep going forward. Only when you have become humble will you begin to grasp the meaning of life.
Frederick Lenz
Those who are already adept at some disciplines of the body will find that the study of Zen and meditation will give you much more control than you now have.
Frederick Lenz
There are really only three important things to remember in life: To care, to share, and to be fair. This is not a new idea at all, and yet, observing how most people live their lives, you might think it was.
