How to Cook Your Life: From the Zen Kitchen to Enlightenment Outlet Order

by Eihei Dogen, with commentary by Kosho Uchiyama.

In the thirteenth century, Zen master Dogen wrote a practical manual drawing parallels between preparing meals for the Zen monastery and spiritual training, teaching his monks how to “cook,” or refine, their lives.

In this volume, Kosho Uchiyama Roshi brings Dogen’s text to life for the benefit of modern-day practitioners with a translation and commentary that truly constitute a “cookbook for life” – one that shows us how to live with an unbiased mind in the midst of our workaday world.
