Frederick Lenz
Happiness is something that you don't postpone. If you are postponing happiness - it is something you will probably never experience much of.
Frederick Lenz
Life isn't complicated. The reason it appears complicated to you is because you are in a very distorted state of mind. That's the basic premise of Buddhism - that you're in a very distorted state of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Let's say you dissolve and become infinite light. There is this sense of being light even though the mind is not thinking it, one feels it, which indicates that one is still there - at least half of one.
Frederick Lenz
When you are in a condition of light everything is ecstatic, everything is joyous, everything is beautiful. Your attention field is subtle. The ego is quiet. The mind is still. Your heart is happy.
Frederick Lenz
I don't know how much you know about Zen, but you'll know less when I'm done with you.
Frederick Lenz
Life is an endless experience of God's. God doesn't even exist in nirvana, yet God exists in all other realms.
