More quotes by Frederick Lenz
To get involved with some ridiculous battle of power with someone else will use up your energy.
Frederick Lenz
Theoretically, everyone's inner being knows everything. There is a part of us that is aware of all things. But that doesn't necessarily do us a whole lot of good unless we are conscious of that.
Frederick Lenz
If you can't feel grateful, if you're discouraged or depressed, then think of the fact that things could be a lot worse than they are.
Frederick Lenz
Zen was an attempt to get back to the purest teachings of the Buddha -enlightenment without strings.
Frederick Lenz
Happiness is a state of mind. The key to happiness is being able to disconnect your life from your perceptions. If you saw things as they really were, you would be happy automatically.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
If you hate yourself and your desires, well, you know, God is your desires and God is your self. As long as you hate God, you'll never realize God.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Spend time alone in areas of low population density, where you can feel the stillness. Go out into the desert or up into the mountains or to the ocean where there aren't too many people.
Frederick Lenz
Only one who has achieved immortality of awareness can laugh with life and laugh with death.
Frederick Lenz
Learn not to be attached to other people, to certain types of experiences. Allow the flow of life to guide you wherever it is supposed to and accept with equanimity, with balance, with poise, whatever happens.
Frederick Lenz
Everyone experiences desire. Desire is not bad. There is no good or bad from the point of view of karma. There is only structured reaction.
Frederick Lenz
We throw you as many as you want, in this profession, and the more you want the more we'll give you, until you're so confused that you'll just beg for us to stop. Stop what? You're the one who started it - you're doing it anyway.
Frederick Lenz
An enlightened teacher is able to put a tremendous amount of power through a person who seeks knowledge and escalates the evolution of the individual.
Frederick Lenz
You did something noble. This will cause a release of energy. It causes a vibratory shift. It means you are moving into a different plateau of consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Originally, I was interested in athletic pursuits like snowboarding, martial arts and surfing. When I went to the Himalayas and met a number of Buddhist monks I was introduced to a new way of looking at life.
Frederick Lenz
Your immediate experience is Tantric Zen. How aware are you of your immediate experience? - Probably not that aware.
