Happiness is not dependent upon outer circumstance. Happiness is falling in love with everything around you, everything inside of you.
Frederick LenzPeople over-focus on teachers as an excuse to avoid their own life, and that way they fail to take responsibility for themselves. They have this feeling that the teacher will just take care of them.
Frederick LenzIf the world does not shine brightly, even just the physical, sensual perception after meditation, you have not meditated. You have sat and thought of things that were not real.
