Come hang out in the fledgling Synchronicity Facebook Community. A community for cool people by cool people.

Genpo Roshi stops by Synchronicity.

Dennis Paul Merzel, also known as Genpo Roshi, is 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.

From his initial awakening in 1971 his purpose and his passion have remained the same: to assist others to realize their true nature and to continuously deepen his own practice as well as assisting others in carefully reflecting on this life and clarifying the Way.

He has a new book out now called Spitting Out the Bones: A Zen Master's 45 Year Journey
