It is not bad living in a monastery. I've done it many times in many lives. But I think you can do a better job outside the monastery, if you have the necessary component parts.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Tantric Zen, at first, does not appear to have a method. In Tantric Zen, you could meditate on a Brillo box or you could meditate on the clear light of reality.
Frederick Lenz
Most people suffer in love because of attachment. Attachment means we're interested in a net return on our investment.
Frederick Lenz
Many people who help me encounter a lot of resistance from other people and from forces.
Frederick Lenz
It is better to agree with a wrong idea than to press a right idea on other people.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is amplified in the world of attention at night. People are more open to forces. That is why human beings cluster around each other in housing developments - a group force pervades and keeps the beings out.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is the process of getting to that part of us that is always eternally happy.
Frederick Lenz
It's suggested that enlightenment has some tremendous compassion, some driving necessity to help humanity. I don't think that's the case at all. I think humanity wishes it were the case since it's humanity that writes the various scriptures.
Frederick Lenz
You must learn to meditate and stop your thoughts. You must overcome all egotism and selfishness by serving others. You must cleanse your mind so that enlightenment will find a happy place to reside there.
Frederick Lenz
Within the human frequency of perception, what you see is what you get. I would classify the bottom of the band as severe unhappiness, depression and alimentation.
Frederick Lenz
When we use power to cause someone else not to succeed so that we can succeed, it slows our vibratory frequency. It slows us down. When we slow down we experience unhappiness.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened teacher has personal power. Sitting and meditating with an enlightened teacher in a meditation hall or at a power spot can change you forever.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is something that is indigenous to the heart, which makes it hard to talk about. We don't necessarily need to talk about it too much other than to get a sense of the practice.
Frederick Lenz
A well known Los Angeles newspaper referred to a small group of gentlemen who live up on a mountain and practice Zen as 'the Zen cult'. The cult phenomenon is definitely journalistically 'in'.
Frederick Lenz
People over-focus on teachers as an excuse to avoid their own life, and that way they fail to take responsibility for themselves. They have this feeling that the teacher will just take care of them.
Frederick Lenz
Start meditating with your eyes open, focusing as a warm-up, then focus on a chakra, then just let go and merge. Don't sit there and think or move into sleepy states of awareness, but move into high-powered states of attention.
Frederick Lenz
We sit here on the oasis of human consciousness and the verbal plane trying to talk about something that we just have to go and see and do and feel.
Frederick Lenz
The only bad meditation is when you don't meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Entities can see a certain amount because they are outside of the physical dimensional plane.
Frederick Lenz
In the study of Zen you can learn how to strengthen and clarify your finite mind. Your finite mind is like a muscle when exercised it becomes stronger.
Frederick Lenz
Nirvana has nothing do with any of this. None of this is there.
