Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. I don't feel that's really up to us. That happens at a certain time when our being has gone through countless changes and refinements.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
The spirit longs for the world of light from which it came. That longing causes something to happen. It causes the being to grow into light.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra is for extremists, but balanced extremists.
Frederick Lenz
In order to go beyond ideas to direct realization, it's essential to have a great deal of purity.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is a journey. It is a journey that is made alone. It is a journey that is made with a teacher.
Frederick Lenz
As you meditate, you will discover, pleasantly, that you too can see beyond this life, that you can see your eternality.
Frederick Lenz
Every day work on your humility through your meditation, giving more of yourself, giving those things you don't want to give.
Frederick Lenz
Even though it's not perceivable to the mind or senses, it's there and enlightenment is absolute freedom.
Frederick Lenz
There are people in the Himalayas who are thousands of years old. But that's just a power, you see. It would seem to me that would suggest a tremendous aversion to the experience of death.
Frederick Lenz
People who ponder too much about the subject of enlightenment don't progress very fast. It is interesting to know it's there, but you can't know what it's like until you get there.
Frederick Lenz
People who work to bring about perfection see work as an extension of themselves. The point is to do a good job. That will empower you. To do a poor job will make you weaker.
Frederick Lenz
Christmas time - an Enlightened Teacher came into the world, taught, and died. His message was simple: Forgive. While the human beings of this planet have still not absorbed this simple Truth, it remains the Truth.
Frederick Lenz
A real liberated teacher never asks for a commitment from a student. That's absurd, a person wants to be there and they want to learn everything they can.
Frederick Lenz
I am a teacher because teaching allows me to observe the universe at work, that moment when wakefulness suddenly occurs.
Frederick Lenz
We sought a tribal society, to be close to each other, not to sit behind a television with our families and not see our families, not just to watch the evening news and the inane comedies designed to pacify the multitudes, but rather to explore ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
What the teacher does is sweep all of the logic, order and reason onto one side and make that side very strong.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is the fastest method I know of, aside from mysticism, of dissolving the fixations people have about spiritual practice and themselves.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher is there to laugh at you because you have such a high opinion of yourself that you need to be laughed at. You need to sense how small we all are.
Frederick Lenz
We play in the jungle gym of sexuality until our spirit takes us out into a clear field where we can see the stars, the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment. One of those radiances is the dance of sexuality.
Frederick Lenz
I realize that there's a thing called the bodhisattva ideal, and it's a very nice pinnacle of attention. It's a very egotistical thought, ultimately.
Frederick Lenz
Care, but don't be pushy! Don't preach about enlightenment to people who don't really want to hear about it.
Frederick Lenz
