Frederick Lenz
One person will eat meat and it will lower their attention field. Another person won't even be affected by it because they're not in the state of mind whereby they'll be affected by it.
Frederick Lenz
What is there when the ego is gone? Eternity, love.
Frederick Lenz
The more advanced the teacher, the better for you. The fifth degree black belt is so expert that they will understand that you're a beginner and throw you perfectly so that no harm will befall you.
Frederick Lenz
You must learn to meditate and stop your thoughts. You must overcome all egotism and selfishness by serving others. You must cleanse your mind so that enlightenment will find a happy place to reside there.
Frederick Lenz
The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.
Frederick Lenz
Just as your physical body is composed of tissue, organs, bones, and different parts, so your subtle physical body has many different parts.
Frederick Lenz
Rise above the limited conditions of pleasure and pain, success and failure, happiness and sorrow, that all the countless unenlightened beings in creation are slaves to.
