This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi’s commentary on Dogen Zenji’s Tenzo Kyokun (p. 35).
Okumura Roshi discusses the importance of cooking the rice carefully and returning the kitchen utensils to their appropriate places. In this way, we can study dharma in our everyday lives—by attending to and valuing things without discriminating mind.
This talk was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on June 20, 2007.
