Frederic Lenz was not a Zen master.
The talks by Dr. Lenz [Rama] provide refreshing and excellent reading
material for western Zen students. They inspire new students to
practice zazen and older students to deepen their practice. - Dennis
Genpo Merzel, Roshi - Kanzeon Zen Center, Gerry Shishin Wick, Rohsi -
Great Mountain Zen Center
Meditation practice (zazen) has remained as the one form that has
transcended time and cultural boundaries. Dr. Frederick P. Lenz [Rama]
is one pioneer who introduced American modes of practice while focusing
on the fundemental Practice of zazen. - Dennis Genpo Merzel, Roshi -

Lenz was a cult leader
Zen is not a religion.
There is no room for a cult.
There is no dependence on a teacher.
There is only learning how to use your own mind
and making it strong.
- Zen Master Rama

Lenz was not a Zen master nor a Buddhist Monk he actually trying to mix
Buddhism with Hinduism
To be attached to a certain view
and to look down upon others' views as inferior,
this the wise men call a fetter.
- Buddha
Puma: (With Compassion)
For the Buddhist there is no "individual enduring personality
"Is there a self?" or
"Is there not a self?"
these questions being outside ones domain
and leading the contemplative to vexation [Puma (With Compassion)]
rather than release from suffering
(Ananda Sutta, SN, 5:44, 10)
Puma: (With Compassion)
In Buddhism there is no reincarnation There is actually REBIRTH.
If anyone says,
that the Tathagata sets forth a Teaching,
he really slanders Buddha
and is unable to explain what I teach.
As to any Truth-declaring system,
Truth is undeclarable.
- Buddha
Puma: (With Compassion)
A cult leader can not be a ZEN MASTER
I really don't believe that I am the leader of a cult.
It's funny what has happened in United States.
Every new movement or group of people
who seek to explore awareness
is considered a cult.
- Zen Master Rama
