Zen Master Rama Talks

I recently came across this site which hosts audio recordings of over 100 talks given by Rama (Frederick Lenz) and have really been enjoying them. I downloaded all of them (6GB of talks!) and listen to them on an mp3 player when I go for walks and when lying in bed. I've really been liking the way he presents spiritual topics though I realize that like many other spiritual teachers there is some controversy around him. I highly recommend the talks myself though 
One talk I really enjoyed (I've enjoyed every one I've listened to) is the one on Nirvana found here - it's only 30 minutes and I think it's a good one to get a feel for his teachings to see if they interest you 
best wishes!

sounds like my kinda guy. 
What you gonna do about a guy who says shit like this and then offs himself.
A spiritually liberated person like myself, or someone else who has crossed the ocean of life and death and come to rest in nirvana, is the opiate to life. Human beings seek us out because when they're in our presence they no longer feel the pain of separativity. They seek us out and for a few brief moments or hours or days or years, the pain of life decreases.
You know how to pick em deff.

Now that I see the martial arts bit, I think this dude might be the inspiration for that Seinfeld character, Joe Davola 
Just kidding, I've tried the first link in the OP, didn't do much for me as his rate of speech is too slow, slower than Terence McKenna's even. Good to hear you like the talks and find guidance in them. Whatever works, enjoy
