    About this ebook

       For the beginner, this book introduces the fundamental teachings of Buddhism in language direct, clear, unexotic; drawing straight from the well of our recognizable lives, Genpo's teachings remind with the pure resonance of the meditation bell: 'Don't waste time.'             - Jane Hirshfield, author of Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry        Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel brings clarity and wisdom to our most fundamental questions - Why do we suffer? How can we free ourselves from fear and sorrow? What does it take to live in harmony with others?        Merzel's pithy and provocative observations can be read individually for inspiration and guidance, or from beginning to end as a lucid introduction to Buddhist truths.  Supremely accessible, 24/7 Dharma applies the central concepts of Buddhism to our modern-day experience.   In a long tradition of Zen aphorisms and turning phrases, Roshi Genpo Merzel's brief, laconic Dharma teachings always point to one's own true nature.             - Zen Master Bernie Glassman, founder of the Zen Peacemaker Order

    Dennis Genpo Merzel

    Dennis Genpo Merzel trained under Zen Master Taizan Maezumi becoming a Zen teacher in 1980. He is one of a small group of Westerners recognized in both the Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions. In 1999, Genpo Roshi combined western psychology and Zen to create Big Mind, a self-discovery process that's been experienced by thousands of people across North America and Europe.  His work is rooted in a deep appreciation of traditional Zen, which he has practiced and taught for over four decades, and his ongoing exploration of ways to integrate the wisdom and insights of both East and West into everyday life.
