The world is a grain of sand on the beach of Eternity. Eternity is a grain of sand on the beach of Infinity. The ocean of Nirvana connects both Eternity and Infinity without connecting them. Know this and you will be free.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Buddhism isn't about temples, and incense, and shaved heads, and robes. It's not about church. There are aspects of Buddhism that involve that. People enjoy that, it helps them, it strengthens their practice.
Frederick Lenz
The spirit seeks the spirit just as matter seeks matter.
Frederick Lenz
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
You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That's a jerk.
Frederick Lenz
As an enlightened teacher of Buddhism, I'd like to welcome you to the pathway to enlightenment. I'd like to encourage you to be more positive, to engage in the practice meditation, to learn how to do this wonderful thing - make your mind still in a crazy world.
Frederick Lenz
If suddenly you get depressed, it doesn't have to throw you. You can push those emotions aside. You can cultivate happy emotions or become emotionless when you need to be very sensitive.
Frederick Lenz
Pure and simple, balance is happiness.
Frederick Lenz
If you were in a perfected state of consciousness, you would only see perfection in all things.
Frederick Lenz
Just like there are different roads that lead to different places, so there are different levels of awareness that lead to different places and we shift in and out of them. These are the ten thousand states of mind that we study in Zen.
Frederick Lenz
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love. What a wonderful testing ground.
Frederick Lenz
The causal body is the determining factor in the changes that occur within your structure or growth rate.
Frederick Lenz
Women do not help each other attain enlightenment because in the description of the world they've been given, unlike that of men, it's every woman for herself in order to survive.
Frederick Lenz
Obviously, following my convictions has come at a personal price, but they are important enough that I have been willing to endure the abuse.
Frederick Lenz
Once we've achieved perfect meditation, we're terribly trapped because that's an illusion...any enlightenment that seems ultimate is an illusion.
Frederick Lenz
If you respect your teacher, you do better. Respect is only good because it will help you. Real liberated people, what can you do for them? They've got everything. They are everything. They don't need to be worshipped or adored.
Frederick Lenz
Even sickness becomes an experience that we pass through in happiness because our happiness is not dependent upon how our body feels, but how our spirit feels.
Frederick Lenz
The Akashic Records are the impressions from all of our past lives that are available within our causal body.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate and still your mind, you will gain the wisdom of knowing things in this world, in other worlds and beyond worlds - it just comes to you.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation, we are going back into the light. All our pain will be taken away, our frustration.
Frederick Lenz
Nonphysical beings are drawn to enlightened beings. Some come to aid them in there work some come to interfere. Some just come to watch. Enlightenment is rare in this world.
