At this symposium Genpo Roshi will be talking about his Big Mind Process and how his insights into the the nature of mind, paticularly pertaining to his seem-less merging of Buddhist Wisdom and Western Psychology has clearly demonstrated itself to be one of the most cutting-edge technologies for helping others to access deeper levels of consciousness.

Some of the other guest speakers include some of the greatest minds in the spiritual and scientific community. To name just a few: Daniel Goleman - two time Pulitzer Prize nominee, Jon Kabat-Zinn - a Buddhist and Scientist who is often part of 'The Mind and Life Meeting' with the Dali Lama, Tara Bennet - author of "Emotional Alchemy: How the Mind Can Heal the Heart" to name a few.

This event is open to the general public and will take place on April 10, 2010.

Genpo Roshi's groundbreaking book, "Big Mind Big Heart: Finding Your Way" has just been released in Dutch, German and Spanish.
These releases were followed by a very successful month long tour throughout Europe which promoted and celebrated the expansion of his work into other languages.

In his own words he commemorates part of his tour in a thank you sent to his German Publisher:

"It has been a great pleasure to be here in Germany on tour introducing the Big Mind/Big Heart experience to all of you. The reception that I have received from the German people has been just tremendous. Hundreds of people have been attending the workshops and have demonstrated a great openness and receptivity to this very western approach to the awakening to their true nature. People tell me that in just three hours they have the tools now to transform their lives. That they experience an empowerment that allows them to be more intimate with themselves and others. While being in the Big Mind experience to be free from fear and to know their meaning and purpose in this life. The participants response has been overwhelmingly wonderful and very emotional for me. I appreciate very much being here after teaching a more traditional Zen here in Germany since 1983. Thank you so very much."
Love,
Genpo
