Image
Sometimes, as we practice jnana yoga, we feel that life has no meaning, no purpose. We feel that there is no reason to try, that life is empty. This is another illusion.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Life draws us in different directions, sometimes simultaneously. When you follow the direction that life draws you in, if you stay in a very powerful state of mind, then you'll see eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You and I are both life. There's just the experience of every moment. We like to call them moments. There isn't really such a thing. There's just is-ness there's just eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Behind the transient reality, there is something else. It is a deeper, more permanent and unchanging reality that we Buddhists call nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The human mind and the entire life process is chaotic. Chaos is not something that lacks order chaos has varieties of order within it.
