Luminary: Genpo Roshi
Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi is one of the preeminent Zen Masters in the Western world, and has developed the Big Mind method for awakening, a remarkable process of facilitated self-discovery.
The core of his Big Mind teaching is the unshakeable and contagious certainty that every one of us, regardless of our socio-economic, cultural or religious background, can instantly awaken to our true nature, like the great masters of old — like the historical Buddha himself, whose essential teaching was nothing less than this. This experience helps us shed anxiety and fear and learn to live more purposeful, compassionate and joyful lives. Roshi combines Zen tradition with the insights of such visionary western figures as Carl Jung, Fritz Perls, and Hal Stone, enabling virtually anyone to realize their true nature, a realization they can further deepen through meditation.
