Hello all,
Welcome to the Oryoki Practice Circle.
We will meet Sundays 9:30am New York City Time (6:30am Los Angeles California - 2:30pm UTC )
I would like to invite everyone to share an Oryoki meal together. (Don't worry, it will not be recorded
)
We will meet at the regular time, have a brief question and answer session, and then go through the ceremony from start to finish.
What you will need:
Your Oryoki set
A thermos/insulated cup/pot of hot water for the "water service"
Food (keep it simple: a "staple" for the Buddha bowl like rice or oatmeal, something a
little more flavorful for the middle bowl like fruit and yogurt or cooked vegetables, and
something a little "special" for the final bowl. In a Traditional Japanese Monastery, the
Buddha bowl would contain rice or rice gruel, the second bowl would be Miso soup or broth
and the final bowl would contain pickled vegetables)
You will want to put your food in separate serving dishes and place them next to where you will be eating - within reach. (Don't forget serving Utensils!)
If anyone has questions, please post and I will do my best to answer them.
I look forward to practicing together,
Shugen
