Quote

Old Zen was very funny there was a great deal of humor and happiness. Zen today seems much drier. While there's a certain amount of humor, it seems to lack that total intensity because humor is one of the primary tools for liberation.

I saw Forrest Gump several times. I personally thought it was Tom Hanks' greatest role and I think it was one of the most eloquent love stories of our time.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People can insert thoughts into your mind. This is more dangerous for psychic people. Use concentration exercises and read to combat this boredom is an easy way to be drained.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is a process of moving from one state of mind to another. Whether you are in a body or out of a body is immaterial.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Learn to accept the transitory nature of existence of the body and the mind see eternity in everything, this world, the other worlds, and nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
All the manifest forms of existence are but illusions. They are momentary displays of consciousness, flashes of lightening in the sky. They are there for a moment and then they are gone.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I can't give you happiness. I can show you where it is, but I can't give it to you. How can I give you what you already have? You have to get it yourself, inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Don't run away from the world. The world is God. Don't run towards the world. God is the void. Don't be afraid of the complexities of this life, nor the stark simplicity of death.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Selfless giving is love in action. Initially you will feel that you should help in a certain way, with a certain result. Do your best, but don't be concerned with results do it for the infinite.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We play in the jungle gym of sexuality until our spirit takes us out into a clear field where we can see the stars, the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment. One of those radiances is the dance of sexuality.
