Text Quotes
The Zen master can see precisely what it will take to cause your awareness to become free. But the Zen master can’t do it for you (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
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 Quotes)
In Old Zen, the Zen Master would do literally anything to break down the concept of what the study was. He would present conflicting codes all the time, just to shake this fixation people had on how to attain liberation (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
The Zen Master was constantly attempting to break up concepts that people had about what it was like to be a spiritual teacher. We have a traditional image. Each Zen master was a complete character (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
If the Zen master sees that it will cause a person to progress, he will ask that person to do a task. The task is charged with power if it’s performed properly. It’s a koan between yourself and the Zen Master (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In the advanced practice, the relationship between the Zen master and the student becomes very terse. The Zen master will expect things of the student because the student is in graduate school (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In Buddhism we have a great deal of etiquette. Etiquette is simply ways of living to conserve energy. Etiquette allows people to live in harmony with their environment (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Being a Buddhist monk means never losing one’s optimism in spite of all difficulties. It also means being harder on yourself than any of your teachers ever were (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
What’s important is to be supportive of all who practice. Anyone on any level, even if they don’t call it self-discovery, who is seeking to awaken to their own potentials and possibilities, to the inner freedom, deserves your respect and support (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Emotional control is essential for attaining higher levels of mind. The thing that the teacher looks for in a student is the degree of self-control, not coldness that someone has (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In America people have this funny idea about enlightenment and money. Money expresses a level of commitment. Studying enlightenment is like going to a university (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In the process of self-discovery you will learn to be kind when you could be harsh. You will learn to forgive, mostly yourself. You will learn to be patient because you may have to wait quite a while to become that which you will eventually be (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Self-hate doesn’t create enlightenment. It just causes you to not enjoy the current moment (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
This is the fourth age, the Kali Yuga, and it’s a time of great darkness. At the end of this age, there’s supposed to be a cosmic dissolution and then life begins anew. It’s a wonderful cycle of rebirth (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
People in the West sometimes have these marvelous visions of India and Tibet. They assume that there are all these sadhus walking around and everybody is breathing enlightenment. Forget it. Don’t look at it through rose-colored glasses (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
What we are seeking to do is not melt the map of America. We are seeking to melt the self, the solid form that we consider ourselves to be (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In the West people spend most of their time and energy working. The problem is you are so tired from work that you don’t have much energy to meditate - unless you use work in a tantric way (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Self-control is completely necessary for increasing and raising your attention level. One of the places you practice that is at work (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
If you want to help people, if you care, go to the cities. The city is where the pain is the greatest - and the cities are a hell of a lot of fun if you like art, movies and plays (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Metaphysics is the study of how to shift the self. How to get outside the self-reflection and to just gaze with awe and wonder at the countless universes, the countless celestial radiances of mind, of life, of enlightenment, nirvana, or God, whatever you want to call it (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
C. S. Lewis, Plato, Aristotle and many more names that I could add, including Einstein’s, were individuals who were able to see the innate order in life, which others perceive as chaos (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Success does not necessarily create happiness. I could take you on a tour of West Lost Angeles. You would be surprised that happiness does not blossom in Beverly Hills any more than it does in most places (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Think about these things and see if they make sense to you. You will find that work will no longer be a four-letter word. It will be a three-letter word: fun (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
I recommend, for many people, the study of computer science. Our natural resource in America is the mind. The mindset in computer science is very similar to the mindset in Zen (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Computer science is fascinating. As you study computer science, you will find that you develop your mind. It is literally like doing Buddhist exercises all day long (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Consciousness, like a complex system of software, has thousands of levels of nested, self-accessing subroutines (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
In Buddhist practice a great deal of time is spent practicing mandala meditation. You learn to visualize and hold simultaneous concepts in the mind during meditation (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
It is my belief that one of the most exciting things about the World Wide Web is that they allow minds, as Spock might say, to meld. The transfer of consciousness through a variety of mediums is nothing new (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Enlightenment has nothing to do with being spiritual. Being spiritual is just an idea - it’s another ring of perception (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
