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
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
Computer science is the most misunderstood field there is. You are being paid to solve puzzles. For a person who has practiced meditation in past lives, that is the way your mind works.
~ Frederick Lenz
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.

Have the courage to be selfless in a world were such qualities are not admired. Dare to be differnt. Be crazy!

~ Frederick Lenz
Meditation is a refocusing on symbols. It's not emptiness. We are using symbols, doorways to step from one world to another, from darkness into light, from death to immortality.
~ Frederick Lenz
Attraction and aversion create a sense of self. There is no self. They are just thoughts. They are insubstantial. When you die, all the ideas of self will go away.
~ Frederick Lenz
Each one of you has created a sense of self. That's what the tonal does. Each one of you is taught a system of maintenance that has been developed by humankind from your birth till your death.
~ Frederick Lenz
Everything goes through the cycle of birth, growth, maturation, decay and death. But all of this is an illusion. Everything we see is an illusion.
~ Frederick Lenz
You have all died many times before and none of you look the worse for it.
~ Frederick Lenz
You don't really have a choice. You are alive and you will die.
~ Frederick Lenz
Death is a doorway. It is a very small, thin doorway and only a portion of our being can walk through.
~ Frederick Lenz
In the end we just realize there's no end. It just goes on forever, in countlessly new forms. That's what's wonderful about the universe there's no escape from living. Death doesn't even end it.
~ Frederick Lenz
When you die you pass into inner worlds and continue to perceive. Death is not the dissolution of the self. Death is rather just a change in perception.
~ Frederick Lenz
If you can die, you are confused because death is a perception of something ending and something else obviously beginning, which means we're still hung up on qualities.
~ Frederick Lenz
Anything that ends with death isn't really mind, just the things that pass through a mind.
~ Frederick Lenz
Death is simply a change in perception. It is not an end to perception as a finite being.
~ Frederick Lenz
