Image
If you're very, very conservative and you like that sort of practice, go find a very conservative Zen master and just do traditional Japanese practice, which is not that traditional actually.

Image
Beyond the ten thousand states of mind is the still point. It exists within them all, yet beyond them. It is not affected by them. It gives birth to them. This is the riddle.
Frederick Lenz
Image
As you progress towards enlightenment you will find that you become a winner at anything, not because you are so concerned about winning anymore. You are just concerned about the pursuit of excellence.

All success in sports and athletics, from the Zen point of view, comes from the mind. No matter what kind of shape your body is in, there is disharmony in the being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In addition to innocence, we have to have knowledge of good and evil.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Reincarnation is a dance. It is a movement of life to the rhythm of the universe. Spirit and matter join together as one dancing partner. They dance and it goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Towards the end of your meditation session, or when you feel your meditation is deep, chant Kring seven times. Repeat it with sharp intensity, without elongating the syllables.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism is perception, gaining control of the mind and directing one's attention, to raise the kundalini energy so that it flows with such volatility and force that we simply perceive life correctly.
