Liz Lewinson

Did you ever want to meet an award-winning writer, speaker, technologist, teacher, communications specialist, non-profit executive, feminist, and Buddhist? Well hello there! This is Liz Lewinson.

I am the proud author of "American Buddhist Rebel: Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz," winner of four literary awards AND available in print, ebook and audiobook formats. For the latter, I am the proud narrator. :-) I am so happy to share the story of Rama, my Buddhist teacher. As his student, I learned about meditative ecstasy, exquisite mystical powers, courage, the fullest range of honesty, compassion beyond understanding, wild humor, and freedom from limiting ideas of self and others. Before he dropped the body in 1998, he asked me to be his biographer, and I was and am honored to fulfill his request.

I am Chief Executive Officer of The Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism. Since 2003, the Foundation has given out over $7million in grants to over 160 Buddhist organizations. We make grants, stage conferences and hold webinars. Find us at www.fredericklenzfoundation.org.

I began my writing career as a freelance journalist and soon segued into Hollywood relations, landing A-list clients in a number of entertainment sectors. Intrigued by the field of computer science, I left public relations in the 90s and took in-depth training in computer science. I was soon managing complex, multi-million dollar I.T. projects for top Wall Street firms.

I enjoyed a stint in New Zealand working as the Communications Manager for an electricity and gas ombudsman office. When I returned to the U.S., I wrote two more books--"Women, Meditation, and Power," and "The Power of the Loving Man"--and focused on making Rama's teaching materials available to the public.
