We are going to discuss Refining Your Life which has two editions:

  • How to Cook Your Life: From the Zen Kitchen to Enlightenment Paperback – Illustrated, November 8, 2005 by Eihei Dogen (Author), Kosho Uchiyama Roshi (Author)
  • From The Zen Kitchen To Enlightenment: Refining Your Life Paperback – March 1, 1983 by Eihei Dogen (Author), Kosho Uchiyama (Author)

If you already have one of the editions, that is OK.

Please read "Translator's introduction," pp. vii–xiv. The Introduction provides good background on "why this text" as well as Uchiyama's novel approach to teaching Zen. Please try to read it before the meeting and come prepared with any observations and questions you would like to share with the group.
