Zen Master RamaThe Best Way to Meditate
Have you always been interested in the art of meditation but something held you back? Have you believed that calm meditation and mindfulness was meant only for people in the Far East? Do you think that the art of meditation is only for those wearing a Buddhist robe, chanting complicated mantras, and living in a monastery?
Or perhaps you’ve been meditating for some time now but you feel your current meditation practice needs a reboot?
Today, many people with varied lifestyles are interested in meditation. The best way to learn meditation is to learn from an enlightened spiritual teacher who has already mastered the art of meditation in a contemporary, Western setting.

How to Meditate
Zen Master Rama taught that the goal of meditation is to stop thought. When you stop thought completely, all that’s left is a direct experience of reality as it is. In order to get to this point in meditation, it’s necessary to develop a single-pointed focus during meditation and to practice daily.
Letting Go Meditation – Meditation is Non-Doing
“Meditation is timeless awareness. You don’t have to do anything to make it happen. You don’t have to rub two sticks together vigorously to create fire. The fire is already burning inside. To become aware of that which is, you simply have to stop.”— Zen Master Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
Perfect Meditation
“All you need to do to meditate perfectly is to eliminate everything from mind that has a quality, and when there’s only mind, it falls back on itself and there’s no perception of other—which is why in true meditation there’s no perception.”—Zen Master Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
Samadhi Awareness
“Samadhi means that you lose your individual awareness as a person. You no longer have a name and address, you’re no longer in this world at all. There’s no sense of the earth time, space, past history, future possibilities… all of that goes away.”—Zen Master Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
Mindfulness Practice
“This is the practice of mindfulness, of monitoring your mind all day and all night. It’s enjoyable to just simply remove things that make you unhappy from your mind, to clarify your emotions and to lead a happy and productive life.”— Zen Master Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
Satori Breakthroughs
“Satori is a brief flash. After some meditation, while working in the field, while talking with someone, while making love, while meditating up on the mountain having renounced all people, suddenly the light breaks through, and for a short timeless time we experience eternity in its unmanifest form. This is satori.”— Zen Master Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment Awareness
“Enlightenment is the complete awareness of life without mental modifications. Enlightenment is the state of awareness we reach when our consciousness is one with infinity, with the infinite consciousness of Life itself. Enlightenment is not a state of mind, although all states of mind are contained within it. It is the best of all things.”— Zen Master Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
