Product Description

Review
"Clear, crisp, and intimate. Readers new to the subject will gain a clear perspective on Zen practice as it really is, and seasoned practitioners will find much here to support and clarify practice. This will also appeal to readers interested in the development of Buddhism in America and how the essentials of a tradition can adapt to the demands of the modern world."-- "Library Journal" "Genpo Roshi invites us in a direct, no-nonsense language to transform ourselves and the world around us. He makes the Zen way clear and accessible to anyone who is willing to engage it. A must for every Zen library."--John Daido Loori Roshi, Abbot of the Zen Mountain Monastery and author of "The Eight Gates of Zen" "Genpo Roshi gives those who have never meditated a chance to see their true face and experience the oneness of life."--Roshi Bernie Glassman, author of "Infinite Circle" "The value of this original book lies not only in its clear presentation of Zen teaching, but also in the long experience and the depth of insight of its author."--Roshi Robert Jinsen Kennedy, author of "Zen Spirit, Christian Spirit," and" Zen Gifts to Christians"

Product Description
In this book, Dennis Merzel brings a friendly and inviting flavour to Zen Buddhist wisdom. Merzel (also known as Genpo Roshi) explains how meditation can gradually lead us to becoming more and more familiar with our own minds, allowing us to better understand ourselves and the nature of human life. In The Path of the Human Being, he explores the practice of meditation in depth, as well as a range of related topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stupendous, 22 April 2008
By Mr Anonymous (somewhere) - See all my reviews
This is one of the most astonishing books I have ever read. I am on my third read. It is simply fantastic. It cannot be recommended highly, highly enough.

If I were to take three books with me on a desert island, this would be among them.
