WHY MEDITATE TO ENLIGHTENED MUSIC?\nIt’s kind of tricky to meditate in this age, and I’ve figured out a way to make it easy for you. 
It’s to meditate to music. I have created a number of albums, which are designed to meditate to. 
If you sit, if you make your mind quiet, if you’re still and you listen to the music, the music will do two things. The energy in the music is very high. I’ve gone into very high planes of consciousness, into samadhi, to bring a certain power into the music as a whole. And when you put on the [music], the energy is so high in it that it will simply block out the thoughts and impressions of the people in this world. 
I have infused each of the albums with the light of enlightenment and with a tremendous amount of kundalini. I can’t explain how it’s done—but let’s just say that it’s hooked up to a certain dimensional access point. 
When you listen to the songs, the level is actually there of a particular universe, a very high plane, and it will lift you up if you can just listen to it—into these higher dimensions—the same way it would if you were meditating with me or with another enlightened teacher. 
When you put on the [music], essentially you’re sitting down with an enlightened teacher and meditating with them. 
—Rama, Chapter 1, “Meditation” (excerpts) 
[Rama's music for meditation, both free and subscription, is available at: 
livingflow.com/music] Preface 
The Enlightenment Cycle series of talks is Rama – Dr. Frederick Lenz’ introductory material for the new student of meditation and enlightenment. 
Rama explains how to meditate and specifically how to meditate in modern times, when we are living on a very crowded planet. 
He introduces his unique approach of combining traditional powerful methods of meditation with music that connects us directly to higher states of awareness. 
Rama describes what enlightenment is and why it’s worth seeking. He discusses fundamental and profound Buddhist and yogic concepts in a down-to-earth manner that’s easy for people today in both the East and West to relate to. We learn about mindfulness, power, balance, wisdom, personal happiness, reincarnation, and the miraculous—directly from a modern day enlightened master. 
This series of talks explains the core principles of practice with Rama’s unique blend of clarity and humor. 
Since Rama was focused on updating Buddhist and yogic teachings for our age, he also describes how career can be used as part of the practice, especially technology and computer science careers. 
After the release of the original Enlightenment Cycle talk series in 1992, Rama added two follow-on recordings: Intermediate Meditation and The Enlightenment Cycle. 
Intermediate Meditation provides additional instructions to the student who’s been meditating daily for a few months or longer. Rama explains how additional focus techniques can be added to strengthen the meditative experience once the student has developed a basic practice. 
The final talk, simply called The Enlightenment Cycle, provides a broad review and discussion of the pathway to enlightenment and why it’s worth pursuing. 
Each chapter in this book is a transcription of a recorded audio talk. The talks reflect the spontaneous tone that typified Rama’s live seminars, which combined sophisticated descriptions of deep spiritual truths with warmth and humor, recalling stories of the Buddha and other enlightened teachers conversing with their students. 
Rama’s words will guide you on an entertaining and profound tour of meditation, magic, and enlightenment.

The twenty-seven talks in the Tantric Buddhism series were recorded by Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz in 1989 and 1990. In these talks, Dr. Lenz describes various aspects of the form of Buddhism that would characterize the rest of his teaching career. He called it "Tantric Buddhism." Historically, Tantric Buddhism has been associated with Buddhist practice in Tibet. Although Dr. Lenz drew much from Tibetan Buddhism, he also wove in significant aspects of American culture to create a modern version of Tantric Buddhism that is as solidly grounded in ancient practice as it is fully engaged in modern life. Through the wise and interlaced talks in this series, Tantric Buddhism leads you through the shadings and nuances of tantra, and ultimately to the clear light of reality.

Practical Zen for Anyone? In 1986, as Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz prepared for a major public lecture series, he sought to present a path to enlightenment that would be most understandable to the largest group of people. He selected Zen as most relevant to his current and future students and called his teachings "Tantric Zen.""What I term Tantric Zen, I could also refer to as old Zen, the original face of Zen, or new Zen, contemporary Zen practice-no mind, the mirror of existence."Bodhidharma, who brought Zen from India to the Orient, taught a very pure type of Zen."Zen is meditation, the actual experience of life-directly, immediately, with no buffers."Tantra is for someone who is really broad-minded, and that's the kind of Zen that I teach, which is what I feel Zen is."It is Bodhidharma Zen, your Zen, my Zen."-RamaDo these chapters sound practical? <ul><li>Overcoming Stress</li><li>Managing and Increasing Your Energy</li><li>Overcoming Fears</li><li>Developing Willpower</li><li>How To Be A Successful Student</li><li>Winning</li><li>Career Success</li></ul>Or these? <ul><li>Personal Power</li><li>Psychic Development</li><li>Concentration and Meditation</li><li>Rapid Mental Development</li><li>The Zen of Sports and Athletics</li></ul>What about? <ul><li>Happiness</li><li>Enlightenment</li><li>Reincarnation</li><li>Karma</li><li>Tantric Zen</li><li>Advanced Meditation Practices</li></ul>

Zen Tapes: Talks on the Essence of Zen and Enlightenment

Remember that outside of time, outside of space, outside of duality, there is something. And that something is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful beyond understanding. It's endless light. It's awareness.The universe is actually alive. It's intelligence - an intelligence that so far surpasses anything that has yet been seen or dreamed or imagined, and you enter into that intelligence. You are it. You're a reflection of it.To see it all, to be it, to be that totality, that's what attracts a few of us to perpetually go forward into it.--Rama
