Working in the Kitchen

Dogen Zenji explained big mind in his Tenzo Kyokun, the instructions for monks who work in the kitchen. Those who work in the kitchen must have this mind. Work in the kitchen is the extended practice of zazen. Their way of working in the kitchen should be based on our pure practice or big mind. Especially for those who work in the kitchen, it is necessary to have big mind because they will have various difficulties. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-06-A - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
