More quotes by Frederick Lenz
When you are enlightened, your physical body will still feel pain if you get hurt, but you will not be overwhelmed even by extreme physical pain, because your mind is filled with light, love and understanding.
Frederick Lenz
In the West the wise are usually thought of as leaders. In the East, the wise are very often though of as followers.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching process is lengthy because there are many, many states of mind to go through. And in each state of mind there is a different aggregate of self to be explored.
Frederick Lenz
There is no point in being a responsible member of society, nor is there any point in being an irresponsible member of society. Both are very defined descriptions of selfhood
Frederick Lenz
I don't think of myself as a guru but as a teacher. If one means 'guru' in the original sense a 'dispeller of darkness' then that certainly is my purpose.
Frederick Lenz
They've got lots of theories, books, sciences - I've read a lot of those books. Most of them are pretty unhappy.
Frederick Lenz
There is suffering and there is joy. Your life is very short, and then you're back again for another and another, forever, unless you step off the wheel.
Frederick Lenz
There are thousands of worlds, thousands of dimensional planes, billions. Life is endless. It goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
A number of Guru's feel that there is something wrong or sick about being gay. I think it really doesn't matter what your sexual preference is what matters is the quality of your love.
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
This is the process of mental analysis, sifting through the selves, sifting through your thoughts, practicing mindfulness, learning to control thought.
Frederick Lenz
We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.
Frederick Lenz
Qualityless simply means there is no way to discuss it. There is no way to pin it down. It could be anything at any given moment since infinity is not bound even by itself, nor the words that human beings choose to try and talk around it.
Frederick Lenz
This particular world is not really a world, it's a perception that you are having at the moment.
Frederick Lenz
There is a beautiful flow to the study of Zen. If it is not making you happier, then you are not practicing correctly.
Frederick Lenz
There are the samskaras, the tendencies from your other lifetimes, ways of seeing, habits that are so strong, they affect you now. They are the operative situations in your life that are created by karma.
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
Think of your life as a field. The field is the field of action. What a mystic does is set up their life as a field of power.
Frederick Lenz
Purity is innocence, the innocence of lack of self. Desire is innocent unless it's connected with self.
Frederick Lenz
Each of the small enlightenments that a Zen practitioner has, which are known in Zen as Satori experiences, provides deeper insights into the nature of existence and helps a person prepare for complete enlightenment.
