In the thirteenth century, Zen master Dogen--perhaps the most
significant of all Japanese philosophers, and the founder of the
Japanese Soto Zen sect--wrote a practical manual of "Instructions
for the Zen Cook ." In drawing parallels between preparing meals
for the Zen monastery and spiritual training, he reveals far more
than simply the rules and manners of the Zen kitchen; he teaches us
how to "cook," or refine our lives. In this volume Kosho Uchiyama
Roshi undertakes the task of elucidating Dogen's text for the
benefit of modern-day readers of Zen. Taken together, his
translation and commentary truly constitute a "cookbook for life,"
one that shows us how to live with an unbiased mind in the midst of
our workaday world.
