Text Quotes
We could go to monasteries. I could show you people who are very wise and they have great willpower, but they’re not happy. They lack balance. They take it all too seriously (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
You human beings think that yoga is in some way going to make everything you want to happen, work out. You are going to be able to avoid what you don’t want. That is not yoga. That is desire and aversion (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Don’t create a plastic image of what it is to be spiritual and try to become it. You won’t be capable of it and that will frustrate you. Even if you could do it, if it’s not really what you’re like, you’ll be miserable (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Learn to accept the transitory nature of existence of the body and the mind; see eternity in everything, this world, the other worlds, and nirvana (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Gaining energy is accomplished by meditating, by right actions, right thoughts, right deeds, by studying with a real teacher or by just studying the teachings, by creating happiness in your life, and by never giving up (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
You must be kind to others. You must foster a caretaker personality of gentleness and perseverance, even in the midst of adversity (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
A way of spreading the dharma is just telling people, sharing with them your experiences. Never push it, never be a missionary. Be completely selfless; realize you’re only an instrument of eternity (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Care, but don’t be pushy! Don’t preach about enlightenment to people who don’t really want to hear about it (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Be fair. Don’t present your version of the truth to others. Lose your ulterior motives! Be accurate and pure in your presentation of the way, and you will become the way (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
It is good to have respect for all beings because who knows what anyone can do? (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
You don’t want to become so sensitive that you can’t interact with people in the world. If you get to that point, you are not practicing psychic development. You are running away from the world, and you’ve made yourself weak (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Enlightenment is not about being political. It is not a social club. Ashrams often turn into that, I know. Societies of enlightenment often just become cliques (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Feel the underlying meaning of the teachings that are espoused by me or anyone else. The word’s don’t mean much. Words are supposed to be catalysts for higher states of attention. That is where the action is (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
They would spend a lot of their time simply walking around in the woods or in the cities, or they would come over to his house and he would teach them with a great deal of humor and laughter about the nature of existence (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Each of the ten thousand states of mind presents you with a different view of essence and experience (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Most persons spend their lives stuck in relatively low states of mind. In these states of mind their views of themselves and the world around them are often severely limited (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
If you are around a lot of human beings who are filled with jealousy and anger and rage and desire, it filters into the mind. Zen is writing a new program to run in the mind (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Satori is a brief flash. Suddenly the light breaks through. For a short timeless time we experience eternity in its unmanifest form. It’s comparable to salvikalpa samadhi (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
We see signs of it perhaps for 28 das or 34 days, then it goes away. Yet we are different (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
After this happens again and again, we reach a point were there is nothing but satori, which is what nirvikalpa samadhi is like (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Zen is a very quick path to enlightenment and development of the mind and all its facilities (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
There are ten thousand aspects of your mind. Your awareness has ten thousand forms. There is something else. You have to step outside of perception itself (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
From the highest state of mind you have a window whereby you could perhaps move beyond all states of mind, to enlightenment (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Zen is a very fast path to enlightenment, fast in comparison to some other paths, not fast for the person who practices it. There is no sense of speed (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Zen is the way of splitting the self again and again, untilt there is nothing left (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Zen is a study. It’s a discipline. It involves the active use of will to make things happen or not happen. These are the secrets of power (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
The sense of self is one of the obscurations that prevents us from seeing clearly, the idea that there is a self or that we are anyone in particular (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
To have the illusion of selfhood simply means that when you look in the mirror, you see somebody (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
Zen is the path that focuses the most upon meditation. It is almost exclusively a path of meditation (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
You can only conceive of what lies beyond the state of mind you are in from the point of view of the state of mind you are in (Frederick Lenz Quotes)
