Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
The reason you study with a teacher is primarily for the empowerments, for someone who is enlightened to transfer power to you. What is most important is that the student uses that power intelligently and wisely.
Frederick Lenz
Krishna says, fight. He says, go out in the battlefield and kill those people whom it's your job to kill.
Frederick Lenz
Maybe you don't need to do this. Maybe this isn't your moment. But if you do feel the pull of the eternal, then you can't stay away from it.
Frederick Lenz
A species divided against itself will eventually fall.
Frederick Lenz
Your intent is important. You will pull a very deep power when you are working not just for yourself, but you are working for your enlightenment and to aid others in their enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to learn how to do a systems analysis of your life, to learn about the effects of places, people, jobs. There are millions of things that go into the study of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.
Frederick Lenz
The magic of life, of course, is not something that can be explained. Structures can only take us to the point where they begin or end. Beyond structures is the white light.
Frederick Lenz
Zen is not a religion. There is no room for a cult. There is no dependence on a teacher. There is only learning how to use your own mind and making it strong.
Frederick Lenz
It is much easier for a woman to meditate than it is for men, innately. Their subtle physical bodies pick up the kundalini much more quickly.
Frederick Lenz
As we grow older and mature in each incarnation, we are drawn back to samskaras, to previous interests and pursuits.
Frederick Lenz
Christ was crucified because he threatened the tonal of the time. He was killed because he threatened the established order of the political regime.
Frederick Lenz
I studied with a number of different teachers. But really, I've never studied with teachers. To be honest, the only thing that's ever interested me in life is eternity. Nothing else makes any sense to me.
Frederick Lenz
Very few people are conscious of the deeper strata of eternity. The primary reason is either because they lack purity or they lack motivation.
Frederick Lenz
Samadhi is perfect absorption to the point where there is no sense of being absorbed, not the consciousness of knowing that you are having an experience.
Frederick Lenz
Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn't last.
Frederick Lenz
This is the age of electrical energy. The age of atomic energy hasn't really dawned yet, not in the way that atomic energy has evolved in other worlds.
Frederick Lenz
We erase ourselves we go away. But we don't really go away, and we don't really erase ourselves, since we were never there to begin with. We weren't there to begin with in that what we are, or conceive of ourselves as, is a perception.
Frederick Lenz
There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.
Frederick Lenz
If you have humility you are halfway to God-realization.
