More quotes by Frederick Lenz

Image
The sensual experiences in life are not to be avoided. This is the philosophy of Tantric Buddhism - nor are they particularly to be sought after.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Ramakrishna didn't suddenly become enlightened. We had years of him meditating, seeking, crying to Mother Kali, going in and out of samadhi but after many years of this process, he was enlightened. He was no longer a finite individual.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Be enlightened for you, just for you. No one else knows or cares. They crucified Christ, you know. They don't take real well, on this planet, to the people who see things differently.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you ever care about things, that means they have power over you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
You can't throw your ego away, but you can use its innate desire to experience that which is beyond itself to give you the impetus to meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you want to succeed always associate with winners, people who have understood something. You will notice that they all share something in common, tremendous attention to detail in their personal lives and associations.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We are cognizant of time, the sense that there is mutability. Time is change. It's the separation of eternity from itself. When eternity is separated from itself, we see it appear in different forms. Time is not a movement in space. Space is a movement in time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In the world of Buddhist mind, in the advanced states, we go beyond time, space, life, death and Newsweek.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How do you deal with meditating when you stop breathing? The trick is to meditate just a little higher and you won't even know that you're not breathing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Within silence all things are contained. What appears to our eyes to be life is but a thin curtain, a gauze penumbra, which stultifies our vision, which prevents us from seeing the truth.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Just as the DNA is a structure of double helical bonds, so your being is a structure of elements, not physical elements, but awarenesses that have come together in a ring of power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Try to find a teacher of meditation and meditate at least once a week in a group with people who meditate a little better than you do. It will inspire you to keep meditating.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The unlimited mind, the diamond mind of the Buddha, is your mind, if you can get in touch with it. Stop thinking so much and tap into that psychic part of your being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The only people who can really drain your power effectively are people you are very close to, you are open to, you love, or people you are afraid of, you fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is a way to open up the chakras, there is a mystical way. But if you do that, you'll get yourself into very hot water, and it's ultimately slower.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If we give purely, it opens up a doorway in our heart and it gives us the vision to see that those we give to are God.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you are finding that you can stop thought longer and longer, I would say your life is bringing power into your being. You are gaining things out from that field behind the house.
Frederick Lenz

Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.
