More quotes by Frederick Lenz
When you meditate you can stand back from your desire. When you silence the mind and there is stillness, only then can you tell if a desire is dharma.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation we get a sense of the countless selves within ourselves, the different forms they take. Those that don't seem positive or helpful we push aside. Those that seem progressive we enjoy.
Frederick Lenz
If you have only been around people who use power in cruel and petty ways, then when you hear the very word, you may have a negative reaction.
Frederick Lenz
There won't be emptiness. Emptiness is just another idea, another illusion.
Frederick Lenz
Feel the wind. This wind blows from world to world and from life to death. This is the wind of dharma. Be in love with the wind. It is an intimate lover. It enraptures you. It blows you through eternity.
Frederick Lenz
The samsara is the sense of self. I've had past experiences. I'm aware of the moment. I will have future experiences.
Frederick Lenz
I don't believe in anything, yet I believe emphatically in almost everything. It all depends on what seems appropriate at the time.
Frederick Lenz
As I'm sure you know by now, most people aren't really very happy. Beyond their surface appearances, the smiles they wear for the rest of the world, most people are soul-sick.
Frederick Lenz
If you accentuate yourself, thinking or acting like you are important, then you must want to look good to someone in this world. In order to impress or sway anybody in this world, you have to be in this world yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Imagine wave after wave of joy passing through your whole body. As each wave passes through your body, feel that all worries, tensions, anxieties and problems are being washed away.
Frederick Lenz
Human beings going to their jobs and living their lives are unconscious. They don't know what's going on. They don't know why you are born or why you die.
Frederick Lenz
A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred.
Frederick Lenz
The Grand Canyon is living evidence of the power of water over a period of time. The power may not manifest immediately. Water can be very powerful, like a tidal wave.
Frederick Lenz
Buddhism is the process of getting to that part of us that is always eternally happy.
Frederick Lenz
Everybody deals with stress differently. Some people drink, some people use drugs, some people watch TV. I have always found that extreme athletics chills me out and leaves me in a very centered place.
Frederick Lenz
Humility simply means that you do a great job at everything and it isn't really a big deal.
Frederick Lenz
Zen was an attempt to get back to the purest teachings of the Buddha -enlightenment without strings.
Frederick Lenz
Greed, fear, lust, hate, jealousy, these are part of reality too ... bundles of consciousness wrapped tightly, barbs on which you can injure yourself, volatile energies that serve as separations between yourself and perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz
If you think of thoughts of success and back them up with hard work, then you will be a winner. If you cherish doubts, negative thoughts, then you won't be a winner at all.
Frederick Lenz
Nothing is or is not unless you happen to think it so. That's what Shakespeare said, and he knew.
