___________________________________________________ ORIYOKI
I reflect on the work that brings this food before me; let me see whence this food comes.
I reflect on my imperfections, on whether I am deserving of this offering of food.
Let me hold my mind free from preferences and greed.
I take this food as an effective medicine to keep my body in good health.
I accept this food so that I will fulfill my task of enlightenment.
The first morsel is to destroy all evil,
The second morsel is to practice all good deeds,
The third morsel is save all sentient beings --
May we all attain the Path of Buddhahood.
Taken from Good Food from a Japanese Temple by Soei Yoneda Abbess, Sanko-in Temple
Take note cookbook fans, this wonderful book of 230 recipes for Western kitchens and embodiment of a 600 year tradition of simple yet elegant vegetable cookery is OUT OF PRINT. So if you see the hard-cover, snatch that jewel up! You might try Powell's Used Books. The paperback is still in print; retitled Zen Vegetarian Cooking.
___________________________________________________ CoCKTaiLs
i've got wheels of polished steel
i've got tires that grab the road
i've got seats that selflessly hold my friends
and a trunk that can carry the heaviest of loads
i've got a mind that can steer me to your house
and a heart that can bring you red flowers
my intentions are good and earnest and true
but under my hood is internal combustion
satan is my motor
(hear my motor purr)
satan is the only one who seems to understand
i've got brakes
i'm wide awake
i can stop this car at any time
at the very last second i can change directions
turn completely around if i feel so inclined
satan is my motor
satan is the only one who seems to understand
-Motor from Prolonging the Magic music and lyric by Cake
KEICHU MAKES CARTS
THE CASE
Master Gettan asked a monk, "Keichu made a hundred carts. If he took off both wheels and removed the axle, what would he make clear about the cart?"
MUMON'S COMMENTARY
If you can realize this at once, your eye will be like a shooting star and your spiritual activity like catching lightning.
THE VERSE
Where the active wheel revolves,
Even a master fails.
It moves in four directions: above and below,
South and north, east and west.

I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick -- not wounded - dead.
- Woody Allen

What happens when I click on the <Donate Free Food> button? Does the donation cost me anything?
When you click on the <Donate Free Food> button, this registers with our computer server. The computer adds your food donation to the day's totals and sends you the <Thank You For Your Donation> page. This page shows you the name of the sponsor or sponsors who pay for your donation. There is absolutely no charge to you for the donation; it is fully paid for by the sponsors and is completely free for you.
How is the donated food distributed?
The donated food is distributed through the United Nations World Food Program, the world's largest food aid organization, with projects in 80 countries. They also work in conjunction with a number of other relief organizations. A list of many excellent relief organizations can be found on our Hunger Resources page.

anybody can enter Buddha's world

-Ikkyu
______________________________________________ HEARD AT TABLE
Thus we see that the all-important thing is not killing or giving life, drinking or not drinking, living in the town or the country, being lucky or unlucky, winning or losing.
It is how we win, how we lose, how we live or die; finally, how we choose.
We walk, and our religion is shown (even to the dullest and most insensitive person), in how we walk. Living in this world means choosing, and the way we choose to walk is infallibly and perfectly expressed in the walk itself.
- R. H. Blyth
Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter.
- Longchenpa(14th century Tibet)
