More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You can go through hundreds of lifetimes in one, and it all starts with daily meditation practice.
Frederick Lenz
This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.
Frederick Lenz
Throughout the day remind yourself that you are moving through eternity. Be focused. Be centered. Be in the now. Know what is going on in the world. Read a newspaper once in a while.
Frederick Lenz
Free will exists and operates outside causality. It is not hooked to karma. Free will is like a well that is on your property. You can choose to draw water from the well or not.
Frederick Lenz
There are thousands of lesser chakras. Chakras are doorways to other worlds. When you focus on them, you step into something else.
Frederick Lenz
I'm not suggesting that everyone should meditate, far from it. Meditation is for very few individuals. I'm speaking of something that is a powerful experience.
Frederick Lenz
Death is simply a change in perception. It is not an end to perception as a finite being.
Frederick Lenz
If you were just you, you would be happy. But of course, you don't know who or what you are. So how can you possibly be happy? That is why you have got to study Zen...or something.
Frederick Lenz
Reincarnation is simply changing awareness. What you are reincarnating into are different states of mind. The whole show is on the inside.
Frederick Lenz
The aura of billions of people coats all experiences like a thick cloud of smog. Just to live on the earth is to live in that smog.
Frederick Lenz
In advanced practice there is a sense of commitment to the study. It is happy it's never forced. It is a natural evolutionary process of an evolved being.
Frederick Lenz
Success and failure are terrible traps.
Frederick Lenz
What these people do here is obviously not working. They sit in their commuter traffic hour after hour. They make the earth a toxic waste dump.
Frederick Lenz
Career success means making enough money to lead the kind of life you would like to lead as a practicing Buddhist.
Frederick Lenz
After the meditation session you have to be a little bit careful. If you start to think a lot of thoughts and become very active, you can prevent some of the meditative awareness from coming into your mind.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is complicated and we're not going to get it all in one night or one incarnation or one infinity.
Frederick Lenz
Learn the motions of infinity within your mind. Your mind becomes a perfect mirror to the motions of infinity.
Frederick Lenz
Several hours later, I heard my mother calling me to come into the house, and it never occurred to me that this was an experience that other children didn't have on a regular basis.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid to experiement with your life and with your heart, your meditation and your being. Just love.
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
