25 – Work as Spiritual Practice According to Dogen's "Instructions to the Cook" - Part 1
Zen demands that we engage our everyday activities, particularly work, as spiritual practice. Few writings describe Zen work practice as well as Zen master Dogen's "Tenzokyokun," or "Instructions to the Tenzo" (a tenzo being the head cook in a monastery), so I'll use this short text to frame my presentation... its teachings about taking care, serving others, appreciating everything, and becoming one with your work are relevant to everyone, no matter what your work or life circumstances.
