Are the cloths washed daily?

It's amazing how zen practicioners have managed to make beautiful rituals to perfect every single mundane activity. Cooking, Eating, doing the dishes, sweeping, painting, gardening. I've heard you actually transformed all this simple tasked into an oportunity for silent meditation i.e. not thinking about anything but the task itself am I right patick?

[starfishyinthesky]

I love oryoki. It was my favorite part of staying at Sogen-ji in Okayama (well, minus the meditation)

[dragateli]

I have a question of this, is this how you eat for all meals? Is this enough nutrition?

I am interested in picking up zen style of eating :)

thanks

Patrick: so sexy! You are one of those guys who drives women crazy.

[iluvdancin]

Absolutely excellent, I learnt a lot from this video, thanks Patrick.

[BjornGunn]

I want more of these Ōryōki videos.

Their so soothing and relaxing to watch.

Or maybe i should purchase myself a set and eat in this particular fashion.

[reptilian]

I couldn't help but noticing how beautiful your arms seemed in the video. Would that be because of the gestures? I wonder

[earlra]

I have attended a Zendo where they give you hot tea to clean with, then you can either drink it or pour it back into the bucket.

[yogagarden]

Whoa, tea? What a fancy place! Living it up, zen style!

[ArtemisXenocide]

Wow! That was so impressive. I wonder where I could find a set like that. Wow would that cut waste in this world or what!

[killeryoga]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this piece of culture with us in such a well thought out manner.

[experimentalartz]

this is incredible! i dont like the zen food, though....but this fact has nothing to do with the beauty of oryoki. i learned eating with oryoki during a sesshin, great day!

[mmfcljuggalette4lyfe]

i love that so much... culture is a beautiful thing

[Greenm0n]

Very nice! Somebody also posted a Shambhala Oryoki video here that is also very nice.

[Stratus128]

hey patrick.. great instructional video. um.. your bowl cloths look like they could use a hem... and maybe the big cloth could be a bit bigger so you could get a slip knot in on the final knot? ... ok sorry.. no.. i'm just being nit-picky.. not criticising.. I probably need a hobby or something

The background music .. is that a flute? it's cool.

[yogagarden]

You just use what they give you at the temple, and just like the whole meal, it's only enough for what you need and no more.

[henry4a]

What happens to that last pickle?

[yogagarden]

I have been asked this so many times! I think it's wonderful that people are paying such close (mindfull) attention.

You can either eat the pickle or give it to the hungry ghosts. Most people eat it.

[Sanctient]

What is the name of that song that is playing throughout the video.

[yogagarden]

Gnossienne as performed by John Williams, originally composed by Erik Satie in late 19th century Paris.

[Sanctient]

Thank you very much.

Hope to see you subscribed to my channel.

Whenever I put a video on there.

[MrG00dbytes]

I'd never thought watching someone eat could be so fascinating, it was beautiful. Arigato Gozaimashita.

[jmcleod1976]

Nice work! Very beautiful and thorough!

[Chalky73]

Great job Patrick! Thank you for this little keepsake from my travels to Japan. - Edie

[yogagarden]

Thanks for watching Chalky! You can see yourself in the background the whole time!

[gwendolynbell]

A calm, clear explanation-demonstration of what oriyoki is and how it's done. I love that you show the simplicity of it...sometimes people talk about it like it's mysterious. Although the hungry ghost part is a bit, eating in this style is all about, as you say at the very end, cultivating mindfulness.

Thanks for the video, Patrick. Awesome, smooth editing and explanation. You are the Video Master!

[hejtack]

it's very simple and rational.also become composed.I'm going to zen-dou next month.

[deadwoodsweep]

Thank you! I felt like that was a 4 minute zen retreat in itself!
