Do not be a sniveler. Do not say you can't be happy, you can't be enlightened. How do you know? It is all chaos.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
You don't know why, but you know you have to go home. It's an eternal longing. It's Marvell's drop of dew wanting to go back to the sky. We're drawn by a force we don't understand, through worlds, through experience.
Frederick Lenz
It is only if you have the courage to follow your heart that you will succeed on the path of love.
Frederick Lenz
Consciousness is the screen. The images on the screen are your perceptions, the illusion that life is solid, that there is a material universe.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes when you are with an enlightened teacher, you will feel both pleasant and unpleasant things magnified. That happens when you meditate with someone who goes into very strong states of altered consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
The dream is real but it does not last - This is an illusion.
Frederick Lenz
Learn to let go. You do it a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz
There is a definite way to do this. There is a training program that you will go through and it's delightful. It's absolutely beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
Now, stopping thought is only the beginning. As Brahmananda, who was a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, once remarked: The inner life begins with samadhi. This is an awesome thought, I realize, for the average person who meditates, that it could begin with samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.
Frederick Lenz
Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.
Frederick Lenz
If you can be agreeable to each and every person or situation with which you come into contact - no matter how difficult it is or how much you think you are in the right - then you are demonstrating control.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate you can stand back from your desire. When you silence the mind and there is stillness, only then can you tell if a desire is dharma.
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Zen is not being kinky nor is it being conservative and austere. It is eclectic. It is a real mixture of all things.
Frederick Lenz
When thought stops, a doorway opens into dimensions that are pure and unassociated. They're nonbinding realities. They're non-samskaric, which simply means that they're beautiful they're ecstatic.
Frederick Lenz
To assume that wealth or sexuality or the usage of power, any of these things are not void in nature, gives them a reality they don't actually have.
Frederick Lenz
In this world we see more passion than dispassion. We see more fear than knowledge. Armies rule the world. Fear-net is happening. Consequently, everyone is raised with fear embedded in their consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
The high priests and priestesses taught the children the secret meditation techniques, along with methods and ways of living that would increase their pranic levels and help them develop their psychic skills.
Frederick Lenz
Everything that I teach as an enlightened Buddhist teacher is towards directing an individual to happiness, a balanced wisdom and knowledge that is sometimes just bubbly and euphoric or just very still and profound.
Frederick Lenz
Towards the end of your meditation session, or when you feel your meditation is deep, chant Kring seven times. Repeat it with sharp intensity, without elongating the syllables.
Frederick Lenz
Power doesn't make you happy. Actually, power without knowledge and balance is problematic. Power is something that will automatically follow when you have knowledge. The two are really the same, in a certain sense.
Frederick Lenz
