Things are not necessarily logical. Logic is a secondary source reference. Everything is what it is. We have decided to apply rationale to things. It makes us feel better.

Step into the mystery of the mind. There are billions of minds, there are billions of selves. There are billions of worlds and dimensions.

Image
Nirvana is a state of perpetual bliss and ecstasy, unaffected by the transient ups and downs of its own creations.

Image
It is the Buddhist belief that at every moment the universe is not only dying but being reborn.

Image
Self-realization is a strange term. You don't actually realize your 'self'. If anything, you go away. The caterpillar enters the cocoon of meditation: A butterfly emerges - metamorphosis.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.

Image
If you're in the tantric sex state of mind, what someone else experiences when they have sex is not what you'll experience. You won't even notice what your body is doing, particularly.

Image
Some people think Taoism means not doing anything, just going on with your life. That has little or nothing to do with Taoism.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You have been imprinted by people in this world who take power from others. Most people drain each other. Or, what is worse, they are draining you right now, psychically!
Frederick Lenz
Image
You may have had countless lives, and many more stretching before you, and what else have you got to do with your time?
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Buddhist mind is more complicated than the Christian mind. It comes up with endless heavens, endless hells, endless earths, and then we have something lower than hell. We have endless sub-realms that make hell look like Club Med and we have endless nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Greed, fear, lust, hate, jealousy, these are part of reality too ... bundles of consciousness wrapped tightly, barbs on which you can injure yourself, volatile energies that serve as separations between yourself and perfect stillness.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Many people, including Buddhist monks, spend thousands of hours sitting in what they call meditation. In reality, what they're doing is thinking and ruminating upon their problems.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It doesn't pay to listen much to what human beings have to say in their evaluation of you, since they don't evaluate themselves very properly.

Different schools of Zen have evolved, principally the Rinzai and Soto orders. A whole hierarchy has developed for the teaching and practice of Zen. Zen has become, to a certain degree, institutionalized.
