More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Naturally, to follow dharma, we have to find out what it is. You have to struggle with it. The answer will not come easily. You will be swayed by your desires, conditioning, and those around you who have ideas about what you should do, what is proper, what is improper.
Frederick Lenz
You are an endless conglomeration of awareness. You're not one singular self. You're a corporation.
Frederick Lenz
Someone else would come, another self that was a little more refined, that had a little more purity, a little more humility, because I was quite egotistical, I thought I was quite wonderful.
Frederick Lenz
I think enlightenment is something that you decide to do after you have met someone who is enlightened. Something touches your heart, your being at a very deep level.
Frederick Lenz
Love was where I learned to go beyond myself, through the arts, through relationships, through sexuality.
Frederick Lenz
Your own nature is pure, spotless, and pristine. Through association we drag ourselves down or we can raise ourselves up.
Frederick Lenz
At the beginning of a meditation session your thoughts will be relatively earthbound. You will think about yourself, your world, problems, difficulties and anxieties.
Frederick Lenz
The rhythm of life is give and take. It is necessary to put things back into the system. To not do that is to foul your own nest - to use up all the natural resources greedily.
Frederick Lenz
In Zen, and in other forms of self discovery, we do have a transference that occurs where psychically, information, blocks of attention, are transferred to the student.
Frederick Lenz
There wasn't a single day in which the world was created. It's created anew at every moment. The structures of eternity are completely fluid but they are bound together by the mind forming a nexus point so reality comes into being.
Frederick Lenz
Love can be used to drain people. Through eye contact people send a cord out to drain you long distance. Through sexual manipulation, anyone who can make you like them can drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Don't fight with your thoughts or try to suppress them with your will. This will only frustrate you and bind you to your thoughts even more strongly.
Frederick Lenz
It is not bad living in a monastery. I've done it many times in many lives. But I think you can do a better job outside the monastery, if you have the necessary component parts.
Frederick Lenz
Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.
Frederick Lenz
I learned from my own teachers, a long time ago in another universe, the quality of quiet fortitude that is renewed by a person's love of light.
Frederick Lenz
The types of thoughts that you think create a state of mind. The reason you think the thoughts you do results from your level of power.
Frederick Lenz
Why don't more women attain enlightenment?
Frederick Lenz
Balance is the most important of all qualities. We don't want a little bit of rapid growth and then to stagnate. We want continual growth, continual development, which implies balance, always.
Frederick Lenz
In the white light of eternity, there is only eternity.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra has to do with the reconciliation of opposites. All the yogas recommend that you avoid certain experiences. In tantra there is no avoidance.
Frederick Lenz
