Frederick Lenz

Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D., also known as "Rama" and "Atmananda" (February 9 1950 - April 12 1998), evolved a unique body of teachings from a blend of Hinduism, Zen Buddhism, Vedanta and Mysticism which he called American Buddhism. Students claim that he was a fully enlightened teacher, (enlightenment meaning life without mental modifications), and his workshops were highly attended by spiritual seekers for a glimpse of the golden light that he exuded and the purported ecstatic experience of meditating with him. He was a successful author, software designer, business man, lecturer, musician/ composer/ producer, martial artist, snowboarder, scuba diver and spiritual teacher. The body and focus of his life's work, including all teaching and projects, was centered around conveying the enlightenment trainings to those who were interested. He based his teachings on ancient practices within a modern framework (see Booklist in Education and Author sections below).
