In Nirvana, it is you, my friend, who goes away. You take an eraser and erase yourself. It's like the Road Runner cartoons where in the middle of the cartoon, the hand of the artist appears on the screen and erases the Road Runner.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
It's necessary, sometimes, for women to embrace the company of other women even more than might seem normal. But there is no normal in this world. Radical change is necessary to counterbalance what has occurred.
Frederick Lenz
Spend time alone in areas of low population density, where you can feel the stillness. Go out into the desert or up into the mountains or to the ocean where there aren't too many people.
Frederick Lenz
The important thing to remember is to follow the path of light. As the fictional character Yoda, from Star Wars, correctly pointed out, once you start down the dark path to power, it's very difficult to leave that path.
Frederick Lenz
You don't need to be recluse and stay away from people. But you have to set aside a lot of time for stillness. That is the only place there is real fulfillment. You need to slow it down.
Frederick Lenz
I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.

Your ability to still your mind through the process of meditation and inner reflection and outer change brings a stillness to the mind all the time, even in the midst of the busiest activities.

As long as you're too busy trying to become something that you're not, you can't see your own immortality.
Frederick Lenz
Dharma is the Truth that all of existence is. It does not disagree with anything. It is the perception of existence in its purest formlessness.
Frederick Lenz
Self-realization doesn't imply loss, gain, even transition it's only a settling. The separate sounds on the beach, the birds, the waves, the wind. They all come together again, they blend, they harmonize.
Frederick Lenz
Eternity becomes more beautiful as we age, if we age well. If we age poorly, then we don't improve our minds we don't refine all the aspects of our being.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving means forgeting about yourself. It means letting go and doing something crazy.
Frederick Lenz
Everything depends on your state of awareness. If your state of awareness is low, then all the material success in the world won't help.
Frederick Lenz
I used to live in Buddhist monasteries and I finally had to leave them because they were just too cluttered for me. They were cluttered up with many thoughts about Buddhism.
Frederick Lenz
There are four principal pathways that lead to enlightement: The yoga of love, the yoga of service, the yoga of knowledge, and the yoga of mysticism.
Frederick Lenz
The United States has an incredible debt. That is obviously not the way to live. You have to eliminate waste in your life as the United States has to eliminate waste in its spending.
Frederick Lenz
If you are going to set out to develop mystical powers to impress your friends and do other things to your enemies, the difficulty with it is that you will not be moving towards enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
When you love someone, you shouldn't feel that they should love in return. You have to give people freedom.
Frederick Lenz
In reading, in literature and poetry, I found an artistic freedom that I didn't see at Woolworth's. I would read everything from Shakespeare to science fiction ... sometimes a book a day.
Frederick Lenz
There is a still point in eternity. There is a still point where all things intersect. There is a still point beyond life, time, and death. Your experience of the still point is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Things that raise your energy usually don't involve humans things that cause energy loss usually involve humans.
