Happiness is found principally in meditation.
Frederick Lenz
As we hate ourselves less, we tend to hate other people less too.
Frederick Lenz
Love comes from ourselves, not from someone else.

Frederick Lenz
People who tap the kundalini and are able to release it are more successful. Anyone who is really on top has some access to the kundalini. They have learned somewhere down the line, in this or other lives, ways of releasing power.
Frederick Lenz
Christ didn't have to. Buddha didn't have to. They came back to teach. They came back to die, to suffer, when it was no longer necessary for them to do so.
Frederick Lenz
I think that pain gives us appreciation of joy - it's a package deal. And I definitely think that the joys of life far outweigh the pain.
Frederick Lenz
Zen doesn't believe in the reconciliation of opposites because from the point of view of Zen, there is no point of view.
Frederick Lenz
Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It's easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight.
Frederick Lenz
As my meditative experiences grew, I had wonderful relationships. I met the most wonderful women, who meditated and shared certain understandings that I had.
Frederick Lenz
You can just stay in oblivion, going through your days and your life and your experiences, staying with your friends, family. If that suits you, it's good. But for some people, it's not enough.
Frederick Lenz
The third eye is located between the eyebrows and a little above. The heart center is located directly in the center of the chest. The naval center is about two inches below the navel.
