More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Meditation is like taking a shower. You are going to wash all the dirt off that you have picked up since your last shower and be clean.
Frederick Lenz
Work sustains us as bodies and it consumes a great deal of energy. The conservation of energy is the component theme of Buddhist practice and yoga. That is why people live in monasteries.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation what you are trying to do is simply get rid of your own junk. You are trying to move all the confusion out of your mind, all the heaviness, all the emotional upsets, all the impressions that you have picked up since your last meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Krishna says meditate and you'll see the various ephemeral worlds, the various ephemeral beings, all of them going through the same thing some are rich, some are poor, some are more knowledgeable, some are less knowledgeable - in countless myriad universes, forever.
Frederick Lenz
One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a god. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Through the practice of meditation and Buddhism, as you experience light, it immediately delights you.
Frederick Lenz
The universe is always ecstasy and it's always perfect, but we don't perceive it that well. If we keep doing our yoga in every lifetime, we perceive it more correctly.
Frederick Lenz
Without wisdom, power tends to destroy the one who wields it.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings, when they encounter that which can't be understood, either run away from it, run towards it blindly, or just rationalize it out of existence.
Frederick Lenz
Smile sometimes when things aren't going well, and maybe realize when they aren't going well, they are.
Frederick Lenz
The United States has an incredible debt. That is obviously not the way to live. You have to eliminate waste in your life as the United States has to eliminate waste in its spending.
Frederick Lenz
Focus on this moment. Hold your hand and see what it feels like. Go look at some grass. Talk to a palm tree. Outrun a Ferrari. Experience life.
Frederick Lenz
We can think of descriptions almost as computer languages, an operative description that only deals with very simple operations. Its code is sex - Male, female, dark, light, up down, in out - its the language of duality.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra is for the person who has gone beyond the rules. They've learned the rules so well that now they can go beyond them.
Frederick Lenz
Death is only a summer vacation for us. We don't really change or lose what we have learned or who we have been when we die, because we are our karma.
Frederick Lenz
The idea of the walls of monastery was to keep everybody else out because you wanted to develop a certain type of life. Most people in the world had different ideas on the subject.
Frederick Lenz
Mysticism is an eclectic mixture of various forms of self-discovery that's primarily experimental.
Frederick Lenz
We sought a tribal society, to be close to each other, not to sit behind a television with our families and not see our families, not just to watch the evening news and the inane comedies designed to pacify the multitudes, but rather to explore ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
There's this cave and all humanity is in it and there's this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody's afraid of it.
Frederick Lenz
In no way can words convey the nagual. But they open up the possibility. They allow an admission on the island of the tonal.
