The Eye Never Sleeps by Dennis Genpo Merzel
The radical challenge of Zen Buddhism is to drop all assumptions and prejudices and experience the truth directly. American Zen teacher Dennis Genpo Merzel brings new life to this ancient wisdom through his commentaries on a classic Chinese Zen scripture, Verses on Faith-Mind, by the Third Patriarch of Zen, Sosan Zenji. The author strikes to the heart of Zen with clarity and force, expressing in modern terms, to an American audience, the essential wisdom and compassion of Sosan Zenji's famous poem. Full of colorful Zen lore and personal anecdotes from Dennis Genpo Merzel's life, these talks impart the Buddha's teaching directly and intimately, illuminating in simple words the timeless questions and problems of day-to-day life.Dennis Genpo Merzel became a Zen teacher in 1980 after studying under Zen Master Taizan Maezumi. In both the Soto and Rinzai Zen lineages, he is one of a limited group of Westerners who have been honored. Genpo Roshi created Big Mind, a self-discovery method that has been experienced by thousands of people across North America with Europe, in 1999 by combining western psychology and Zen. His work is informed by a great respect for traditional Zen, which he has studied and taught for more than four decades, as well as his continual investigation of methods to incorporate the wisdom and insights of both East and West into everyday life.
