We want to know what our self is. We are the sky. Our thoughts are the birds that come and go. You can enjoy the birds and their beauty, but it is the sky that lasts.

Frederick Lenz
Image

Your very success is what's going to destroy you. The survival mechanism that you've developed is the very thing which will cause the downfall of your subtle physical body.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In Zen we strive to bring both the mind and the body into perfect combination, so that there is no intrinsic difference between them.
Frederick Lenz
Image
With a teacher it is necessary to be sensitive to their directions most of the time they won't say much. You have to be still and silent to understand.

Image
As you become a powerful person, it becomes increasingly important to have periods of solitude. Take a weekend by yourself. Go up into the mountains or desert and check into a little cabin. Go by yourself.
