    Oryoki and Eating Just the Right Amount

    The ancient Japanese mealtime art of oryoki reveals the patterns and sticking points of our minds.


    I found this article quite interesting. I don’t participate in Oryoki but I thought those of you who do might appreciate this.

      Cool - is there anywhere recommended that one can order an Oryoki set from?

      Edit: I found www.stillsitting.com, which looks like the best option.

      Sat today.

        Hey Genjun,

        There is a lot of info about oryoki sets in this thread, plus on making your own. =)

        I know I've seen it somewhere, but I just can't find it [confused]- ages ago I saw a thread where folk were talking about putting their own sets together - there was also a great Jundo video on the same subject. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've found bowls, but I need some info about the cloths, sizes etc.

          We also meet once a month to share an Oryoki meal together.

              Lovely article Tairin, thank you so much for sharing this. Genjun that Oryoki set looks to be pretty good value, but don't underestimate the idea of putting your own set together ; I personally found that really rewarding as a practice in itself. And yes, please do feel free to join our monthly meetings, another unique online opportunity from Treeleaf

                Know that most of sets sold in the West are not really orthodox Oryoki sets, but are very abbreviated and modified in significant ways. So, really might as well make one's own for home Practice purposes.

                Orthodox Soto Set (including large Buddha Bowl without flat bottom, resting on a stand) ...







                Typical set as sold in West ...
