You and I are both life. There's just the experience of every moment. We like to call them moments. There isn't really such a thing. There's just is-ness there's just eternity.
Frederick Lenz
There are people who do, what we would call, lower sorcery. It is best not to be concerned with them. They are not happy people and they can't be a problem if you are aware of what they are doing.
Frederick Lenz
To run away from life and desire is impossible because you are life and you have desire. Accept that this is part of your physical condition and see that these aspects are not really indigenous to what you are.
Frederick Lenz
The void is ready to snatch you up like a Pac Man machine and Laskshmi is on vacation. You chant Sring - and you get her answering machine.
Frederick Lenz
The more talented the opponent, the luckier you are. You have draw a great deal of strength from your being.

Some people say: There is no God because, if there was a God, God would stop all the suffering. Nonsense! God is oblivious to suffering. God is beyond suffering. That's what makes God, God, by definition.
Frederick Lenz
Everybody out there is just doing things for themesleves. So if you don't do that you've got to be crazy ... crazy about selfless giving!
Frederick Lenz
Zen was a reaction. Just as Buddha came into the world and spoke against the fall of Vedanta, so Buddhism lost its essence and became ritual. Zen was a reaction to that.
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Zen is for someone who is really broad-minded. It is Bodhidharma's Zen, your Zen, my Zen. Which doesn't mean I have a problem with Japanese Zen. Most Japanese Zen is minding your p's and q's.
Frederick Lenz
At the time of death, whatever you have focused on the most will determine your next life.
Frederick Lenz
There is illusion, the way you see things now, thinking that there is a tomorrow, there is a today, there is time and that there is life and death. Those are just appearances
Frederick Lenz
Life should be continually brighter. We are continually seeking our own innocence. We want to recapture it for eternity. It's in there, but we lose touch with it.
Frederick Lenz
I am a certified PADI Divemaster and a technical scuba diver. That is to say, I am involved with decompression diving where we dive to depths of 300 plus feet. But I was also recently certified for the Atlantis rebreather, where we dive to shallower depths ranging from about 60-130 feet.
Frederick Lenz
Have a healthy respect and love for yourself, but don't be taken out by your ego.
Frederick Lenz
If you can be agreeable to each and every person or situation with which you come into contact - no matter how difficult it is or how much you think you are in the right - then you are demonstrating control.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is the way of splitting the self again and again, untilt there is nothing left.
Frederick Lenz
Many people who help me encounter a lot of resistance from other people and from forces.
Frederick Lenz
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of I as a perceiver falls away.
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.
