In Zen you are learning how to make new realities, to build things inside your mind.

You start meditation as an average human being who is filled with vagueness and not much purpose or definition, who is controlled by their desires, your mind spins all over the place, your senses spin all over the place, out of control.

We try to fulfill ourselves, even though our inner voice tells us to become all that we are - still, we run from it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Dogs have fleas people have each other. We are born to die. Life is a continuing tragic comedy. Everything and everyone we love suffers. Anybody who doesn't see that has not grown up and known life.

There is no life and there is no death. Life and death are moving shadows cast upon the ground by clouds that sweep across the sky.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are dimensions of power, there are dimensions of knowledge, and there are dimensions of confusion. The universe is a very, very big place. To think the universe is only composed of the physical universe is to be rather shortsighted.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Start to give more thought to the world around you. Stop exposing yourself to situations that drain your energy. You will discover through a trial and error process that you will have more energy.

Image
Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. I don't feel that's really up to us. That happens at a certain time when our being has gone through countless changes and refinements.

Image
There are monasteries in Japan where they teach Zen with rules, more rules than you can imagine, and you might feel comfortable with that. I don't teach that type of Zen.

Enlightenment is the ability to freely transact within the ten thousand states of mind without a continuous self or awareness

The only way you can really evaluate spiritual advancement is to see how someone treats those who are close to them.

Perfection is not a final state. It is a state of mind. There are ten thousand states of mind.

People have power and it is very important to respect that. Everybody's had thousands of lifetimes, and who knows what anyone has learned in a lifetime ... respect not fear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
What's important is to be supportive of all who practice. Anyone on any level, even if they don't call it self-discovery, who is seeking to awaken to their own potentials and possibilities, to the inner freedom, deserves your respect and support.

I deal with two types of students. Those who have a very deep-seated knowledge of love, which are few, or those in all their lives have ignored love.
