Buddhism is perception, gaining control of the mind and directing one's attention, to raise the kundalini energy so that it flows with such volatility and force that we simply perceive life correctly.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Everyone will admire you when you do well. What a horrible thing to do to someone.
Frederick Lenz
Love yourself even when you don't measure up to your own expectations. You have a certain idea of what you should do and what you should be - it's only a silly idea that passes through your mind.
Frederick Lenz
You become someone else when you meditate. It isn't just a little technique. If you really pursue it, you change radically - you evolve.
Frederick Lenz
Be concerned with the welfare of others without any sense of self-importance that one is better because one meditates or leads a certain type of life.
Frederick Lenz
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
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
As you become a powerful person, it becomes increasingly important to have periods of solitude. Take a weekend by yourself. Go up into the mountains or desert and check into a little cabin. Go by yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Many practitioners think there is some giant balance scale, where someone is keeping track, like Santa Claus, and that will determine your allotment of presents. That's a very exoteric understanding of reincarnation.
Frederick Lenz
I'm not speaking metaphorically, plants that you have in your house, or if you've ever made friends with a tree somewhere, there is a moment that these beings can aid you.
Frederick Lenz
When you love someone, you shouldn't feel that they should love in return. You have to give people freedom.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened person is someone who shifts from one plateau of knowledge to another.
Frederick Lenz
Even the rich aren't often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn't make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age.
Frederick Lenz
Take a yoga class, study different forms of self-discovery. Some people are crazy and fanatical, avoid them. People who are balanced and calm and introspective, associating with them will raise your energy level.
Frederick Lenz
The dream is so thick the Maya is so thick. There's no magic as long as there's all this thought. So the first condition for the practice of higher magic is the stopping of thought.
Frederick Lenz
Existence is perpetual motion. Galileo wondered about it, Da Vinci.
Frederick Lenz
Yoga means we accept responsibility for the tasks in our life, and we know that being a king, being an enlightened teacher, being someone who sweeps the streets, we know that nothing is a greater yoga than anything else.
Frederick Lenz
I think that pain gives us appreciation of joy - it's a package deal. And I definitely think that the joys of life far outweigh the pain.
Frederick Lenz
The more talented the opponent, the luckier you are. You have draw a great deal of strength from your being.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is the study of mind in all of its manifestations. The purpose of Zen is to be happy.
Frederick Lenz
Career success means making enough money to lead the kind of life you would like to lead as a practicing Buddhist.
