They reach the point where they feel, I can go into samadhi now. I can do everything on my own, and that's exactly where they stay, in the lower samadhis. There are many, many people on this earth who can go into salvakalpa samadhi.

Tantric Zen is for someone who is really broad-minded. It is Bodhidharma's Zen, your Zen, my Zen. Which doesn't mean I have a problem with Japanese Zen. Most Japanese Zen is minding your p's and q's.

Computer science is the most misunderstood field there is. You are being paid to solve puzzles. For a person who has practiced meditation in past lives, that is the way your mind works.

Image
The heart chakra is located in the center of your chest. Hold your right or left hand out. Now say Me and, as you do so, touch your chest. You will automatically touch your heart chakra.

Image
People are under the assumption that the kundalini just flows from the base of the spine up. That's not the case at all. Kundalini also flows downward.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Obviously, following my convictions has come at a personal price, but they are important enough that I have been willing to endure the abuse.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The majority of times when a man thinks he has been the instigator, which men like to think, in sexual and romantic experiences, that has not been the case.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nothing is distinct and separate. The waves of the ocean arise and have a separate birth, crashing on the shore, but then back into the ocean they go. They never left it. There is no movement in Nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't just sit there. Go do something and don't expect that it's going to be fun unless you make it fun. You have got to work on things. That is when you are happy.

Image
The wisdom of samadhi is quite different. Higher level wisdom cannot be written down. It cannot be spoken. True wisdom is the knowledge of the universe that is beyond physical expression.

Image
I don't know how much you know about Zen, but you'll know less when I'm done with you.

According to Zen philosophy each human being has two minds, a finite mind and an infinite mind.

There won't be emptiness. Emptiness is just another idea, another illusion.
