More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.
Frederick Lenz
Some people think Taoism means not doing anything, just going on with your life. That has little or nothing to do with Taoism.
Frederick Lenz
Everything that you are or conceive of yourself as being is just an idea. It's an illusion. It's a hallucination.
Frederick Lenz
Everything that can be and everything that cannot be exists somewhere.
Frederick Lenz
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
If the world does not shine brightly, even just the physical, sensual perception after meditation, you have not meditated. You have sat and thought of things that were not real.
Frederick Lenz
The study of Buddhism is essentially the study of modification, how we modify the state of mind we're in, how we modify the realm we're in.
Frederick Lenz
Dharma is another name for existence. It is existence in its purest form.
Frederick Lenz
When time stops, matter stops.
Frederick Lenz
The dreams of the self are manifold and endless and they exist in all the myriad worlds and conditions that appear to have solidity. When you're dreaming at night, something seems very real, but when you wake up the dream is gone and so is all that apparent solidity.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is the journey to happiness.
Frederick Lenz
When you have grown accustomed to sitting and meditating, try to stop your thoughts. That's the bottom line in meditative practice.
Frederick Lenz
Language is the medium of our thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
I have chosen to parody the writing styles of Carlos Castaneda, James Redfield, Richard Bach, Lynn Andrews, and several other best-selling new age authors.
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
A master of will can teach you how to use will. You watch them and observe them use that will, guided by wisdom, with a happy balance.
Frederick Lenz
Zen was an attempt to get back to the purest teachings of the Buddha -enlightenment without strings.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra and adventure are very, very connected. Perhaps the greatest enemy for one who's journeying along the spiritual path is complacency.
Frederick Lenz
If silence only conveys the Self, if all words and thoughts are illusions, why do we discuss it?
Frederick Lenz
The last game on earth is in progress. And when you lose, you win. And when you win, you can't lose.
Frederick Lenz
