Buddhism, Suffering, Enlightenment

There is no movement in Nirvana. There is no sameness. And one does not consider it to be timeless because one is not one. It is you, my friend, who go away.

Buddhism, Suffering, Going Away

Christ didn't have to. Buddha didn't have to. They came back to teach. They came back to die, to suffer, when it was no longer necessary for them to do so.

Karma, Yoga, Suffering

To become completely aware is the journey of enlightenment. There is pain in it and suffering. But you already have those things so it doesn't really matter.

Pain, Journey, Suffering

If you suffer in love, if you have problems in love, it's because you don't have enough humility.

Humility, Buddhism, Suffering

Tantra is for the desperate. Unless you've really experienced pain and suffering, tantra won't work. Unless you've really experienced exultation and ecstasy, tantra won't work.

Pain, Philosophy, Suffering

There is a way to reach enlightenment and get beyond suffering.

Buddhism, Suffering, Enlightenment

Another condition can be attained ... a condition of ecstasy. A condition so far from what the people of planet Earth experience it's not even discussable.

Buddhism, People, Suffering

Look at the big picture of the wheel of life. Above it, there is a Buddha. He is pointing, not towards the wheel, but away from it. He is indicating that there is something else - nirvana.

Buddhism, Suffering, Looks

Nirvana is the other side, the source of all things, where all the aggregates come from, where the templates of infinity are.

Buddhism, Suffering, Sides

Nirvana bears no resemblance to anything in your current perceptual field.

Buddhism, Suffering, Fields

We could take all the pleasures that have ever been and will ever be in all the universes and add them up into one experience. If you were absorbed in nirvana, it wouldn't be noticed.

Buddhism, Suffering, Add

You are going around on the wheel again and again. You go around and around from lifetime to lifetime. You never quite wake up. Enlightenment is waking up.

Buddhism, Suffering, Enlightenment

Liberation means no rebirth. Now, does that mean you don't reincarnate? Well, you never did reincarnate.

Mean, Buddhism, Suffering

Nirvana is the pure and perfect schness of thatness of being.

Buddhism, Perfect, Suffering

Nirvana has nothing do with any of this. None of this is there.

Buddhism, Suffering

Nirvana is a state of perpetual bliss and ecstasy, unaffected by the transient ups and downs of its own creations.

Buddhism, Suffering, Bliss

Frederick Lenz (1994). “Surfing the Himalayas: conversations and travels with Master Fwap”, Interglobal Seminars

At the beginning and the middle and the end of all things, there is only the perfection of enlightenment that is nirvana.

Buddhism, Perfection, Suffering

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.

Ocean, Buddhism, Suffering

There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.

Buddhism, Achievement, Suffering

Unlike the transient days of our lives that constantly come and go, nirvana has always been, is now, and always will be.

Buddhism, Suffering, Comes And Goes

Frederick Lenz (1995). “Surfing the Himalayas: A Spiritual Adventure”, St Martins Press

Only the enlightened are consistently happy. Their happiness is not predicated upon the events and experiences that take place in this world. Instead it is based on the boundless inner energy they gain from their connection with the world of enlightenment.

Buddhism, Suffering, Enlightenment

When you draw from the endless awareness of nirvana, you are no longer a slave to fortune. When pleasant experiences come your way, you can enjoy them. But if pain and misfortune befall you, you can rise above them and remain unaffected.

Pain, Buddhism, Suffering

Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.

Buddhism, Suffering, Perception

Frederick Lenz (1994). “Surfing the Himalayas: conversations and travels with Master Fwap”, Interglobal Seminars

Nirvana is not really a physical place, although sometimes I talk about it as if it were. It is not really an experience, although sometimes I mention it as if it was.

Buddhism, Suffering, Sometimes

Frederick Lenz (1994). “Surfing the Himalayas: conversations and travels with Master Fwap”, Interglobal Seminars
