Suffering follows the lack of wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A person who undertakes the study of Zen and learns concentration and meditation is like a gymnast. You become a gymnast of the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you suffer in love, if you have problems in love, it's because you don't have enough humility.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The astral is the supporting ground for the physical dimension.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People think they can tame the earth. How absurd! The vanity of human wishes is endless. It is more fun to dance with life.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The path of Zen is not easy. It's wonderful. It's beautiful beyond compare. You will experience more ecstasy and beauty than most people will in a thousand lifetimes.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We could take all the pleasures that have ever been and will ever be in all the universes and add them up into one experience. If you were absorbed in nirvana, it wouldn't be noticed.
Frederick Lenz
Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
One day you will arrive at a station on the train of existence that you've always known has been there. You'll find there will be no train in sight, with no sense of arrival. There is only a perpetual arrival, a timeless condition of infinite awareness.

Frederick Lenz
Image
We're too insignificant and small to really be able to do anything, except cry, not unhappily, but an inner cry, a feeling of reaching to God.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Let the rain of unhappy and tragic experiences fall, as sometimes it inevitably must, even in the lives of the enlightened masters. If your mind has become one with nirvana, you will remain happy at all times.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In order to effectively interlock with higher spheres of mind and attention, you must have tremendous balance and control. You learn that it is more fun to have control than not to.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Start a meditation session by repeating a mantra, perhaps, Aum, which is the most powerful of all mantras. Then, after repeating the mantra perhaps a dozen times, focus on a yantra.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In Buddhism what we seek to do is change ourselves into someone who's beautiful to be.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We label things through value systems that we have developed. But nothing is or is not unless we feel it is that way. We give ground to reality by creating it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Knowledge of the Enlightenment Cycle, of the ways that inner dimensions and nirvana work, lifts you far above the transient sorrows, pains, pleasures and joys that the unenlightened masses experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Women wrap men with their second attention.

Kundalini is prana as it passes through a human being.

It's amazing to me how many people who profess to be spiritual seekers are self-seekers, and how few of them ever consider God.
