Quotes from Frederick Lenz

Tantric Buddhism means that we become mature adults and we learn the reality of chaos theory.

Everything aids everything, because all things are a reflection of the Buddha mind, of the mind of Enlightenment.

The Buddha taught three cycles of teachings. His first cycle of teachings cover the basics, the prerequisites. This would include the Dharmapada.

His second cycle of teachings discusses the cosmology of the universes. But in his later years, he wrote the tantric texts.

Our failure to see and access the pure joy and radiance of life is owning to a lack of awareness. In any situation there is beauty. Even at the moment of one's death there is beauty.

The human mind and the entire life process is chaotic. Chaos is not something that lacks order; chaos has varieties of order within it.

Avoidance of experiences is a fixation and it binds you to the world, it binds you to the personal self.

In this world we see the pairs of opposites. Ultimately there are no oppositions. In the superconscious awareness there is no division.

The tantras are ancient sacred books of India and Tibet. The tantras detail specific means for attaining liberation.

The emphasis is on meditation in Tantric Zen. The experience of meditation in formal practice, zazen, where you're sitting down and meditating and concentrating.

In Tantric Buddhism, we believe that Samsara is Nirvana. That is to say that everything in the universe is part of us. And we also are part of everything in the universe.

Sexuality, for the person who practices tantra, is a marvelous way to experience illusion. Illusion is just another way of seeing things. There are no illusions because there is no self.

Advanced yoga is not withdrawal from the world. That's a preliminary state.

There are no rules. Nothing you can do will take you to liberation; therefore, nothing you avoid will help you along the path to liberation.. Everything is liberation.

Any avenue that you follow leads to light. All roads lead to Rome.

A critical part of Tantric Buddhism is a process of turning of the activities and experiences in your daily life into meditation.

Tantric Buddhists don't believe in sin. Stupidity, yes, meaning we make ourselves or others suffer.

You shouldn't run around killing people or eating meat. That's not what we mean by tantra. There's no need to break the rules.

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.

If you find a Tantric master - he has you go and do all the things you hate to do.

There's no right or wrong in the study of enlightenment. There's only experience.

Tantra is non-dogmatic, in the sense that we don't care about the sensual world; we don't care about other religious traditions. To not care doesn't mean that we don't learn.

What we seek to do in Tantric Buddhism is to liquefy ourselves. Life will automatically bring us to the next stage. You don't really have to know where you're going - It's like breathing.

In meditation all the fake dull thoughts that you think, all the ridiculous philosophies, the necessities, all the things that won't matter a bit when you are dead - fade away.
