Hi,
SOMEONE REQUESTED I REPOST THESE OLD TALKS. SOME MAY HAVE ALREADY FADED INTO IMPERMANENCE AND EMPTINESS ... AND SO IT IS, No matter either way ...
Here is a series of 33 'Sit-a-Long with Jundo' talks based upon Master Dogen's incomparable 'Instructions for the Cook' (Tenzo Kyokun) ...
... which are not just about cooking soup, but about cooking all of life.
(If you cannot find the text, the correct link is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20150315...zo_kyokun.html )

Oh, and if anyone is looking for some wonderful further readings on "Instructions for the Cook", here are teachings by two of the best "modern cooks" in the Zen World ...
• From The Zen Kitchen To Enlightenment: Refining Your Life by Eihei Dogen; Kosho Uchiyama Roshi (Translator)
and
• Nothing Is Hidden : Essays on Zen Master Dogen's Instructions for the Cook by Shohaku Okumura Roshi (now hard to find!)
ALSO, although not directly about the Tenzo Kyokun, this delicious film and teaching by an actual Tenzo and gifted teacher (and an interesting guy too) .... Edward Espe Brown of Tassajara ...
Gassho, Jundo
