Record Producer
He was the producer for the rock band, Zazen. The band gained success among electronic and new-age music audiences, often being compared to Tangerine Dream by critics. During the life of the band, Zazen produced 21 albums (many of which were re-released/re-produced) in 13 years. The group has also released several music videos. Although some of Zazen's albums were simply intended to be fun, new-age music, a number of their albums, such as Enlightenment, Canyons of Light, Cayman Blue, Samurai, and Samadhi, were specifically for meditation. Correction: All albums produced by Rama were intended specifically for his students to meditate to at the time they were produced. Many of Lenz' teachings were meant to take effect on a non-verbal level and the music was intended to be a way of accessing those teachings.
The band's name is taken from the Zen Buddhism term Zazen, literally, "seated meditation." Zazen is a central concept of Zen Buddhism. It might be defined as "quieting the ego-mind to reveal the Buddha Nature/divine self within," but Zen Buddhists would use the literal translation.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
