Hi Everyone,

I have been learning/practicing the formal monastery meal, oryoki. I thought the sangha may be interested in learning it as well as it can be a good way to practice mindfulness while eating, although surely not necessary.

Here's a video from ZMM on the procedure and background that is quite good. I'm not sure how, if at all, it differs from the practice here at Treeleaf so maybe Jundo could comment as well.
