More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There comes a time in life when you just buckle down and have a good time with what you're doing. It doesn't matter much what you're doing. What matters is how you do it.
Frederick Lenz
The tantras can be very confusing for a person who is new to Buddhism, and for several thousand years the rule was not to expose a person or a new monk to the tantras until they had practiced for many, many years.
Frederick Lenz
A student of mine is an actor, he used to go into these interviews and sometimes not get the part. He was taken out. Someone would use power in a way that would cause him not to succeed

Frederick Lenz
Inwardly the sun also has an energy field, it has an aura, so does the earth, so does the moon, and so do all the planets. We're affected by those auras. It's not something that you really want to reason out.

Look for the things in your life that bring you stillness and happiness, not the things that make you crazy. Look inside yourself and look for that perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
The tonal is the sense of place. It is order and reason in a world of chaos.
Frederick Lenz
There is no life and there is no death. Life and death are moving shadows cast upon the ground by clouds that sweep across the sky.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person is not in touch with all the ten thousand states of mind simultaneously always. It would be very hard to go shopping let alone drive the car.
Frederick Lenz
Suffering follows the lack of wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher is really invaluable. A teacher will instruct you in how to stabilize your energy field, increase it, and decrease the loss of energy in your life and how to be balanced, wise, and funny.
Frederick Lenz
There is something beyond power. The totality of one's being. Some call it nirvana. We have a higher destiny. Before you can scratch the surface, you have to bring your life into order.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't make freinds with God, make freinds with someone is friends and maybe you'll get invited to the party.
Frederick Lenz
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
Since there were others, a long time ago, who were kind enough to give me a hard time and allow me to study with them, I try and express the same Buddhist courtesy.
