More quotes by Frederick Lenz
It is more important to repeat a mantra several times with total absorption than to parrot it for hours on end.
Frederick Lenz
You are separate from the universe, therefore you experience it.
Frederick Lenz
If you think of thoughts of success and back them up with hard work, then you will be a winner. If you cherish doubts, negative thoughts, then you won't be a winner at all.
Frederick Lenz
The planes of light give you the power to rise above circumstance, the power to rise above your desires and your aversions.
Frederick Lenz
If you are around a lot of human beings who are filled with jealousy and anger and rage and desire, it filters into the mind. Zen is writing a new program to run in the mind.
Frederick Lenz
The samskaras that were developed in previous incarnations are usually hidden by the temporary amnesia of infancy and by the transient personality.
Frederick Lenz
To meditate what you need to do is free yourself from your ideas and your thoughts. All of the higher dimensional planes, the higher realities, the infinite cosmos itself is beyond thought.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The thing about Buddhism is that it stresses attainment of something ineffable, that is where it differs from other religions in that it's more correct. We live in a world with promises of paradise.
Frederick Lenz
Children are wise in a funny kind of way. They haven't developed so many vested interests of self. There is a wisdom, a lack of self-consciousness, that is innocence.
Frederick Lenz
There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
In order to go beyond ideas to direct realization, it's essential to have a great deal of purity.
Frederick Lenz
Salvakalpa samadhi is like a sea of perfect light nirvikalpa samadhi is no light, no darkness, no way to describe it. Absorption is complete, that's nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
If you line everything up, just right, you walk through a doorway where the world as you know it collapses.
Frederick Lenz
I think the most miraculous thing is learning. I get out of the way and let the students learn. Then you get to watch this amazing thing happen.
Frederick Lenz
The Network of Enlightenment watches over a world and guides it, tenderly. Not interfering in its natural course of evolution is our way.
Frederick Lenz
Words are deceptive. You think you understand something because it's explained to you and now you are under no obligation to do anything because you understand it.
Frederick Lenz
I don't really have a problem with the pain of life. Perhaps that is because I am a martial artist and I am used to dealing with pain. Or perhaps I adjusted to pain because there has been a great deal of it in my life.
Frederick Lenz
In Zen, and in other forms of self discovery, we do have a transference that occurs where psychically, information, blocks of attention, are transferred to the student.
