The Path of the Human Being by Dennis Genpo Merzel

The Path of the Human Being by Dennis Genpo Merzel

Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi, one of the most highly regarded American Zen teachers, demystifies the experience of enlightenment, teaching that it is none other than the awakening to our true nature, which is ever present and inherent in all of us. Through the practice of meditation, one is able to turn the light of inquiry inward and discover this for oneself. Genpo Roshi lays out this journey of discovery for us-from the first tentative glimpses of Buddha Mind to the full flowering of realized life.
Always practical and down-to-earth, Genpo Roshi shows that following the Buddha Way does not require us to leave behind our ordinary lives. Instead it is a process of integration, learning to flow freely between the many dimensions of our lives so that our existence becomes more meaningful and joyous, and so that we are able to carry the wisdom and compassion we have realized into daily 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.
