You can't just sit in emptiness. Even the enlightened don't sit in emptiness. We call it emptiness - but we move our mind into a world of light.

Whenever I work with anyone, it is an opportunity for them to become more professional and do something for someone else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Sexuality, I think, is a little bit different, for me, than it is for most people, in that there's almost no body awareness whatsoever. It's just light, but that's how everything is for me.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Consider a very natural process, menstruation, and how the association has been created in which this process is dirty, degrading.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is a very quick path. Zen is the path of meditation. The word Zen means emptiness or fullness, meditation. Meditation is the quickest path to enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If someone else runs faster than you or makes more money than you or is more adept at anything, that doesn't mean you have lost. You are measuring yourself only against yourself and your tendencies not to do all that you are capable of doing.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Our very awareness is the window upon which reality presents itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Light by its very nature is endless. Therefore you can never say you've had the ultimate experience in light - it goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We seek to unify ourselves with the endless light of truth, of God, of nirvana. We recognize the infinite playing through all beings and all forms, but we only have to concern ourselves with ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
Image
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
Image
We label things through value systems that we have developed. But nothing is or is not unless we feel it is that way. We give ground to reality by creating it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are spirits in Hawaii. They're very protective and very good and they watch over these islands. I must confess, they're not entirely happy with what they see, with the way the civilization is moving. But they're patient. They've been here for a long time, and they'll be here long after the human beings have ceased to inhabit the islands.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Happiness is not the same as pleasure. Pleasure is an immediate experience, very transient in nature, that's enjoyable, and if we experience a great deal of it - there's a sense of satiation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
They too wonder about the nature of existence, where they've come from and where they're going to and how much time they have.
Frederick Lenz
Image
This solidity is not true. The apparent solidity is the delusion of the senses and of the self. Everything is made up of infinite, intelligent light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Zen is about breaking out of your ideas and experiencing life and not ideas.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Enlightenment is the culmination of self-knowledge, pure unadulterated knowledge. Not knowledge you can get from reading a book, it comes from perfecting your awareness, your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In Nirvana, it is you, my friend, who goes away. You take an eraser and erase yourself. It's like the Road Runner cartoons where in the middle of the cartoon, the hand of the artist appears on the screen and erases the Road Runner.

Image
Zazen's music is composed in other dimensions and it is played by some of my students. I go through the music they have played with my aura and wash out anything impure.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Keep the deepest feelings of your heart to yourself. They tend to stay more pure if you do. There is a wisdom to that.

We have a spiritual community but everyone lives where they want to. I recommend certain areas to live because of their power.
