To stop thought it's necessary to put your life into a state of balance. Otherwise you can sit and meditate for hours and all kinds of conscious and unconscious thoughts will flow through you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Focus your attention on the center of your stomach, in the area of your naval. Feel that this is an area of tremendous strength.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We use the word God as representative of that which is timeless, immortal and infinite, that which produces order, which holds together the nucleus of an atom, which gives us life and death, neither masculine nor feminine, not a person, beyond any comprehension.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There is no self, yet we all exist. All phenomena are empty, yet they have Buddha nature.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most people think happiness comes from experiences in the world. The fulfillment of desire causes a type of happiness. But as soon as they experience passes, the happiness passes.
