About the Book

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.

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 in a variety of areas."--Library Journal
"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
"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 Instructions to the Cook and Infinite Circle
"In this book, you will hear the voice of a great contemporary Zen teacher who has seen the life of Western Buddhism step out of the shadows. Thanks to Genpo Roshi's courage and skill, we are treated to a Zen that is marvelous, accessible, vibrant, and deeply human. The Path of the Human Being inspired me--and will inspire you--to examine your life thoroughly--with the brave and tender muscle of the heart as well as the Big Mind that includes everything. Nothing is missing from the jewel of a book."--Joan Halifax Roshi, Upaya Zen Center
"Here is a book that points the way to the heart of what it means to be truly human. Genpo Roshi invites us in 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
