We remember a few people who've been enlightened. We build churches and edifices in their name. But few people, if any, feel that they could ever be like that and if that's how they feel - that's how it will be.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
An enlightened teacher teaches you how to gain power. They give you power. They teach you how to shape it so that it becomes an instrument of beauty and not an instrument of unhappiness.
Frederick Lenz
If you are with a fully enlightened being, a jivan mukta, liberated soul, the quality of light is so clear, that you don't really know that it is there until later.
Frederick Lenz
You can be alone too in the city streets, among the crowds. We are all alone.
Frederick Lenz
We prefer humility in others - and if we prefer it in others - we can soon prefer it in ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
The most successful way to combat these dark clouds that come between the light of you and that which you love, is to feel that love itself will rescue you.
Frederick Lenz
The path of knowledge is said to be difficult in that it is the path of Samadhi.
Frederick Lenz
For every action there is a reaction. Karma can be examined within the structure of an hour, a year, a lifetime, a thousand lifetimes.
Frederick Lenz
Lao Tsu says the way of life is water, to be fluid.
Frederick Lenz
When you are meditating, after you've meditated on the yantra or candle flame, simply try feeling gratitude. Sit and feel grateful to existence because you are meditating.
Frederick Lenz
I don't really have a problem with the pain of life. Perhaps that is because I am a martial artist and I am used to dealing with pain. Or perhaps I adjusted to pain because there has been a great deal of it in my life.
Frederick Lenz
Read books that expand you, that are bright. See films, plays, art forms that elevate your consciousness, that bring you into a sense of how beautiful this world is, how beautiful other worlds are, how beautiful nirvana, the transcendental is.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them, to learn to be perfect in your meditation, and to win in all your endeavors so that one day you will complete again.
Frederick Lenz
Entities are beings that are dead. They are the lowest beings on the evolutionary scale because they don't even know they are dead. They are so stupid. What they seek is life again - they come into the world of the living.
Frederick Lenz
Power is something that is not really visible. Some people have the power to rise above circumstance. Sociological factors and DNA are not all that determine success. It is power.
Frederick Lenz
The world glows all the time. All of the things that you have come to understand aren't. The greatest thinkers in the world see very little compared to the enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
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
Perception is the ability to be conscious of self and that which is other than self. Without thinking about it, a distinction is made between who we are and what we perceive.
Frederick Lenz
Just as when water is frozen in to a form as ice and then melts - so at the time of death, there is no death. The spirit simply changes form.
Frederick Lenz
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.
Frederick Lenz
Through the practice of concentration and various techniques, we silence the mind and we enter into a flow of perfect light. We go outside of the parameters of mind and thought and experience nirvana.
