Rama - Dr Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz, whose spiritual name was Rama, was an enlightened teacher who taught what he called American Buddhism. To Rama, Buddhism is a very pragmatic practice that can be used by each of us in our daily lives. It is a practice that utilizes our work, our daily chores, our fun and our inter-relationships with others to discover more about who we are. In short, the Buddhist practices of meditation and mindfullness are not separate from our lives, our practice is our life and that practice works in our modern society.
