Frederick LenzYou can't teach someone to be enlightened. It's something you have to go and do. You can't teach someone to meditate well. It's something you have to go and do.
Frederick LenzIf we don't get violent with ourselves, castigate ourselves, ostracize ourselves and excommunicate ourselves because we didn't live up to the standards we set down for ourselves, then maybe we don't have to do that with other people.
Frederick LenzThere are no problems, there is only confusion. When confusion passes away, there is only happiness. Happiness is not complicated at all.
