Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Nirvana is the other side, the source of all things, where all the aggregates come from, where the templates of infinity are.
Frederick Lenz
Where is truth? Is there truth in what I am doing now?
Frederick Lenz
Women must work doubly hard to overcome their conditioning in order to become enlightened. They must erase both conscious and unconscious ideas of sexual inferority that have been programmed into their awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Consciously join with and become part of the power that is in everything around you.
Frederick Lenz
The more completely you concentrate, the stronger your mind becomes.
Frederick Lenz
The trick to keeping your meditation practice alive, not simply consistent but wonderful, is you need to bring a certain will or force into every meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Christianity is a marketable product. It has very little to do with Jesus Christ. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ at all - what the experience was like to be around the guy.
