Move beyond the limited parameters that most human beings have and realize that there are thousands and millions of worlds beyond this world.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When repeated difficulties do arise, our first spiritual approach is to acknowledge what is present, naming, softly saying 'sadness, sadness', or 'remembering, remembering', or whatever.
Jack Kornfield
Image
The peculiar thing is that, in focusing only on the here and now, Buddhism seems to despise the world.
Quentin S. Crisp
Image
When willpower is not guided, it's terrible. Hitler had a lot of will. But he used it for destructive purposes because he lacked wisdom.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We must especially learn the art of directing mindfulness into the closed areas of our life.
Jack Kornfield
Image
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love - what a wonderful testing ground, what a wonderful place to see and sense our limitations, to know that the pain reflects your state of awareness and not being able to hide from it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We've done this before in other worlds, in other lives. It is our strength, law, medicine, entertainment, and computers, the networking of energy. All of these are arts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you unite the nothingness of your mind with the nothingness of the Frisbee, then the Frisbee is not a Frisbee, and you are not you.

Image
I can go shopping and pick up some Bounty Towels, the three pack, I can go home and open those up and look at them and see more infinity than in the Buddha's best meditation. If I can't do that, that means I'm wrapped by the Buddha's best meditation.

Many people who help me encounter a lot of resistance from other people and from forces.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Existence is perpetual motion. Galileo wondered about it, Da Vinci.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Those who scorn and hate the world and hate themselves miss the point. The point was that there wasn't one. There was no place to go to.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The kundalini runs through you. It runs through the ida and the pingala, the two nerve channels in the subtle body but there's a central channel, the shushumna, which is blocked. When it runs through that, then you can use the mystical kundalini.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We're all buddhas. We just don't recognize it.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Image
Well Buddhism, 'shmoodism', I didn't go to India looking for Buddhism. I was looking for truth, or God, or a better way of life or happiness, fulfillment, meaning, purpose. And a way to become peace in the world and not just fight for peace, as we had in the 60's.
Surya Das
Image
Don't worry about techniques. Don't worry about chakras. Instead, concern yourself with finding the dharma and meditate. Then the kundalini will release.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We want to be all things, not just to gain power over things - how infantile!
Frederick Lenz
Image
The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Image
A walk in the woods can reveal many things, and it is a good time to practice transcendentalism. Look at a tree and realize it's not just a tree, its roots may go into the ground but it may also go into other worlds, other eternities.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What we focus on we become. If you are just focusing on unhappy things, you will become unhappy. If you focus on happy states of mind, then it will grow in you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We remember a few people who've been enlightened. We build churches and edifices in their name. But few people, if any, feel that they could ever be like that and if that's how they feel - that's how it will be.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The thousand petal lotus of light, the crown center, really does not become operative until one is on the verge of enlightenment itself. Then you really don't have to meditate on it. The thousand petals gradually light up.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are countless dimensions filled with beings of other orders. Now this may sound peculiar to some people, but it was only several hundred years ago that we invented something called the microscope. Since then worlds whose existence we did not suspect have become commonplace
Frederick Lenz
Image
Perception not only defines existence but it creates existence. It gives it form. Without perception there is no existence.
