It is the Buddhist belief that all things, experiences and people are inherently empty. That is a simple way of saying that all physical and nonphysical things have another side.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
When you have grown accustomed to sitting and meditating, try to stop your thoughts. That's the bottom line in meditative practice.
Frederick Lenz
The operative condition on this particular planet, the central mode which human beings follow, is fear. We are taught to fear.
Frederick Lenz
You can go to India and you can see gurus go into samadhi. But when they come out of samadhi, they're nasty. They're egocentric. They don't have a deep regard or understanding of what life is. It's just a little trick they can do, a one-trick pony.
Frederick Lenz
There are many ways to store power. You can visit places of power, special locations on the earth that are charged with power.
Frederick Lenz
We remember a few people who've been enlightened. We build churches and edifices in their name. But few people, if any, feel that they could ever be like that and if that's how they feel - that's how it will be.
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
When you meditate with an enlightened teacher, you will feel something from them. They just dissolve completely, absorption in nirvana, where they don't even have physical contact with this world anymore.
Frederick Lenz
Transform yourself. It is not the opponent that will change, or the Frisbee. They will change in relation to your change. You must change.
Frederick Lenz
You are trying to pierce the veil, to break through the Frisbee so that it doesn't exist, to break through the football so it doesn't exist, and to break through your opponent so they don't exist.
Frederick Lenz
Bodies come and go, ages come and go, yugas come and go, eternities come and go. Selves come and go.
Frederick Lenz
Words are a human way of trying to describe things. But they're much more of interference than they are a help in the world of enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Everything is part of one web, one matrix of existence, beyond discussion. This is our true self in its undifferentiated form.
Frederick Lenz
Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that's a part of self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
Free will exists within each of us. Most people choose not to use their free will, so consequently they rarely alter their karmic patterns.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment doesn't mean you stop being a student. Being a student is a state of mind. Enlightenment simply means that you are everything and everywhere. It doesn't preclude being a student.
Frederick Lenz
Never settle for that which is easy and comfortable or the necessity of seeking that which is difficult and uncomfortable.
Frederick Lenz
As you progress towards enlightenment you will find that you become a winner at anything, not because you are so concerned about winning anymore. You are just concerned about the pursuit of excellence.
Frederick Lenz
Lack of judgement doesn't mean that you don't see what is or is not. It simply means that you realize that everyone is constantly changing - everyone is made up of conscioussness.
Frederick Lenz
When you unite the nothingness of your mind with the nothingness of the Frisbee, then the Frisbee is not a Frisbee, and you are not you.
Frederick Lenz
The best meditation I ever had, I haven't had yet. It's in the future, which as anyone knows doesn't exist - anyone who meditates knows. But yet, I will have it someday.
Frederick Lenz
