EPISODE DESCRIPTION
In this episode, we’ll be talking with Buddhist Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel. Genpo grew up as your typical Jewish American white boy in southern California; a life guard and an all American polo player. How then did he goon to become a Zen Priest, a teacher in both the Soto and Rinzai schools of Zen Buddhism, Abbot of Kanzeon since 1988, and creator of the Big Mind Process in 1999? What? He’ll tell us about his great awakening experience and how that led him to the long road of where he is today, a Zen Master and great teacher of life! We’ll be discussing the amazing breakthrough process he created called Big Mind Big Heart, which is a sort of voice dialog therapy “on steroids”! What we can do with the Big Mind process is learn how easy it is to shift the perspectives of our shadow aspects or the sub personalities of our psyche, which are most often disowned and causing havoc and unhappiness. Once we begin to give a voice to a disowned aspect of ourselves we bring it back into the system to incorporate, heal and then go on to make better choices. Genpo has been working with this processsince 1999 which philosopher Ken Wilber states…”arguably the most important and original discovery in the last two centuries of Buddhism. It is remarkable and very effective! We will also be discussing his latest book “The Fool WhoThought He Was God” , a compelling read which is jammed packed with insights and wisdom in an entertaining fictional story. Genpo says it is a culmination of the last 43 plus years of his work, his studies, his discoveries and his wisdom. In my opinion it is a brilliant cross between Conversations with God and Tuesday’s with Maury! A great read that asks and answers many concerns we are struggling with today such as; “what does God want from us” and “how can we reach our highest potential in this life time”? If you have never met a Zen Buddhist Master, or even if you have, you’re going to love Genpo Roshi, his wit, his charm and most of all, his great wisdom!
