From the point of view of enlightenment, none of this has ever even been. All time and space, all the conditions that are apparent in the absence of enlightenment are unreal.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In the Far East, it is taken for granted that the training of a monk is physically rigorous and academically challenging.
Frederick Lenz
The secret of love is acceptance, acceptance of our finite self, of our life, our birth ... our death.
Frederick Lenz
Discrimination involves reflection and absorption.
Frederick Lenz
The training was rigorous, hundreds and thousands of hours of meditation, self-giving. But it was easy. I loved it. I would merge again and again with the superconscious in meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Willpower determines success in business, interpersonal relationships, health, whatever it is. All the activities in your life, success and failure in them, are dependent upon your ability to manifest will.
Frederick Lenz
Just remembering what you did in previous lives doesn't mean a thing. It's nice to remember that you had higher states of mind, but that won't necessarily get you there. It might even make things painful.
Frederick Lenz
If you are in a state of mind in which all things are one, then you can spend your time in lingerie shops.
Frederick Lenz
Self is the perception of perception. Beyond self there's no perception of perception.
Frederick Lenz
Christ didn't have to. Buddha didn't have to. They came back to teach. They came back to die, to suffer, when it was no longer necessary for them to do so.
Frederick Lenz
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Begin with your daily life. Take your life as a challenge and try to bring yourself into harmony with each thing in your life.
Frederick Lenz
Meditate well so you can be a good instrument of eternity. You could have a mediocre meditation today, but you're not going to. Today you might run into someone who you might talk to about the dharma.
Frederick Lenz
Focus on this moment. Hold your hand and see what it feels like. Go look at some grass. Talk to a palm tree. Outrun a Ferrari. Experience life.
Frederick Lenz
You might wish to try Kali's mantra. Kali is another celestial being. She offers very fast spiritual progress through intensity. Her mantra is Kring! When you chant Kring, chant it very intensely and sharply. Only chant Kring when you are in a high meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Wisdom, in the world of enlightenment, is not gained through conversation. Wisdom and enlightenment is something that you gain by making the mind still.
Frederick Lenz
Free will exists and operates outside causality. It is not hooked to karma. Free will is like a well that is on your property. You can choose to draw water from the well or not.
Frederick Lenz
We use the word God as representative of that which is timeless, immortal and infinite, that which produces order, which holds together the nucleus of an atom, which gives us life and death, neither masculine nor feminine, not a person, beyond any comprehension.
Frederick Lenz
People who practice Zen correctly are not spaced-out or unrealistic. They are balanced and grounded.
Frederick Lenz
In our culture we are taught to be accessible and open it signifies a good person. In mysticism it is the opposite, people can scan you and drain you.
Frederick Lenz
Being a Buddhist monk means never losing one's optimism in spite of all difficulties. It also means being harder on yourself than any of your teachers ever were.
Frederick Lenz
