Happiness is self-generated as the mind becomes still. As we become involved with the desires of the world, we lose that centering, that stillness.
Frederick LenzYou can simulate perfection, but it's not the same. Some one can do a copy of Rembrandt, but it's not a Rembrandt. It doesn't have the vibration or the power.
Frederick LenzThere is competition in Zen. Let's not be ridiculous. There is competition in everything in life; being a winner in Zen means, competing and winning in the world of enlightenment.
