| How to Cook your Life |
Filmmaker Doris Dorrie turns her attention to Buddhism and that age-old saying, you are what you eat.
The charismatic Zen Master Edward Espe Brown explained the guiding principles of Zen Buddhism as they apply to the preparation of food as well as life itself.
How to Cook Your Life teaches us to be mindful and open our eyes to one of the most beautiful occupations: cooking.
"Select the rice and prepare the vegetables by yourself with your own hands, watching closely with sincere diligence. You should not attend to some things and neglect or be slack with others for even one moment. Do not give away a single drop from within the ocean of virtues; you must not fail to add a single speck on top of the mountain of good deeds."
From Instructions for the Cook by Zen Master Dogen, 1238AD.
