Frederick Lenz
Examine your experience of the incarnation so far and realistically add up the moments of happiness and unhappiness and you tell me, oh somewhat vaguely nobly born, you tell me, what has it been like for you?
Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz
Zen is the study of mind in all of its manifestations. The purpose of Zen is to be happy.

Don't preach about meditation.
Frederick Lenz
If we get above the individualized soul's journey, you will see that we are all one. We are all one light. In that sense, we are all enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
You create time by joining events together. But they don't join together there's no separativity.
Frederick Lenz
If you are around a lot of human beings who are filled with jealousy and anger and rage and desire, it filters into the mind. Zen is writing a new program to run in the mind.
Frederick Lenz
Beyond the parameters of the self is an ocean ... and it's most excellent.
Frederick Lenz
All of the previously described techniques can be practiced with your eyes open and closed. Most people find that it is easier initially to practice meditation with their eyes closed.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment occurs when your mind merges with nirvana, with what Tibetans call the Dharmakaya, the clear light of reality, which is the highest plane of transcendental wisdom and perfect understanding.
