Time holds the final claim check for everything we gain or attain in this lifetime. All of our possessions, along with the people we love, are only loaned to us for a very short time by eternity.

Frederick Lenz
Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
People on this planet are currently preparing to blow themselves up in ultimate thermonuclear wars. We are living among beings whose state of mind is destruction.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Beyond the ten thousand states of mind is the still point. It exists within them all, yet beyond them. It is not affected by them. It gives birth to them. This is the riddle.
Frederick Lenz
Image
How can you possibly be happy if you think you're a person? Because we all know, just by definition, that people are definitely not happy because they take everything too seriously. They take themselves seriously.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The aura of billions of people coats all experiences like a thick cloud of smog. Just to live on the earth is to live in that smog.

Image

Frederick Lenz
Image
Love does not seek to please itself, but offers itself and its life to others.
