“What Dennis Genpo Roshi has done is not only the most original discovery in Buddhism in the last two centuries, it is unbelievably simple, quick, and effective. In Zen, this realization of one’s True Nature, or Ultimate Reality, is called kensho or satori (“seeing into one’s True Nature,” or discovering Big Mind and Big Heart). It often takes five years or more of extremely difficult practice (I know, I’ve done it) in order for a profound satori to occur. With the Big Mind Process, a genuine ke …

A veteran yogi of 18 years as she began yoga at 15 years of age. Tirzah Fujii 33 years of age has developed a deeply healing "Primal scream-combination yoga", one that uses the pain and discomfort of going deeper into both general, and specific yogic poses, to release anger and pain by screaming while in your poses on the exhale. Screaming is a very good way to release anger, which if left un-expressed will turn into stress kept in the body which causes poison that in turn reaps havoc, disease, …

We live in a world that is divided and in pain.  One of the ways we can lay down our anger, fear, and stress (and our other reactions that keep us from living whole-heartedly) is through a regular practice of loving acceptance for the situations and people in our lives that we find difficult.  This is not to say that every situation and person in our lives is OK, but when we set aside our reactivity and accept them as they are, we are better able to find our true relationship with them and take …

If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness.
