RMS Update 2018

(by RMS) The following update about Rama Meditation Society (RMS) and our activities was distributed to participants in the recent desert trip to celebrate Rama’s birthday. Please contact us with any questions at info@ramameditationsociety.org

RAMA MEDITATION SOCIETY (RMS) – February 2018

Overview – Rama Meditation Society (RMS) is a non-profit corporation formed by students of Rama’s teachings.

Mission – Our mission is to preserve and share the body of works of Rama – Dr. Frederick Lenz – and to support the continued transformation of those inspired by his teachings.

Rama’s Body of Work

– The copyrights to Rama’s works are owned by the Lenz Foundation. In 2012, RMS entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with the Foundation to enable free downloads of Rama’s works and links to materials for sale through Amazon and other outlets.

– In 2011, RMS partnered with the Foundation to promote the Rama Materials Marketing Campaign (RMMC). The RMMC campaign obtained funds – held (and matched) by the Foundation – to promote Rama’s works.

– In mid-2015, the Foundation provided RMS & other Rama student organizations with its remaining inventory of books, CDs, and DVDs.  RMS has been storing and distributing these materials (at no charge).
