More quotes by Frederick Lenz
In Tantric Buddhism, we believe that Samsara is Nirvana. That is to say that everything in the universe is part of us. And we also are part of everything in the universe.
Frederick Lenz
Step beyond your role as a perceiver, merge everything into the flux.
Frederick Lenz
Life hurts at times. It hurts to have a body at times, hurts to be born, hurts to live, hurts to die, but it can be ecstasy beyond comprehension. You can know that ecstasy. It is inside of you.
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Most people abuse power. They use power to dominate others. They use power to destroy others. Ultimately when you do this, you lose it.
Frederick Lenz
The wonder of immaculate, perfect, pure mind is that when it is in its perfect, extant state without confusion, it can be anything it wants to be.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond happiness and unhappiness is truth. Truth is not affected by anything in the relative world. Truth is the unifying aspect of existence.
Frederick Lenz
We're blind, deaf and dumb. It is only that Self, which is our life force that makes who and what we are. The realization of that is self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
The spirit seeks the spirit just as matter seeks matter.
Frederick Lenz
Transmission does not have to take place physically. The student doesn't have to be sitting across from you. But it's easier if they are because the vibration of the teacher is strongest in the physical proximity of the teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Many people who help me encounter a lot of resistance from other people and from forces.
Frederick Lenz
There is a beautiful flow to the study of Zen. If it is not making you happier, then you are not practicing correctly.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher can show you the ways. But no one can do it for you. You have to take what you learn from them and go out and live it. You have to change your life.
Frederick Lenz
