Big Mind

Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi is one of the pre-eminent Zen Masters in the Western world, the heir of a great religious and historical tradition, and an important cultural innovator. His Big Mind™ teaching is changing the world from the inside out, starting with people’s hearts and minds. He is integrating it into the teaching of Zen at centers throughout Europe and North America and conducting workshops and retreats at institutions like the Integral Institute and Integral Spiritual Center in Colorado. The Big Mind™ experience has profoundly influenced the personal and professional practices of people all around the world.

"My friend Genpo Roshi has developed a series of "pointing-out" instructions that are as effective as anything I know at giving a person a direct glimpse of Big Mind. I recommend his workshops unconditionally. Needless to say, any opening needs to be followed by practice, but as for this initial opening, this process is as effective as they come. Please take advantage of it, you won't be disappointed." —Ken Wilber
