Details about the session:
Register at the organizer’s e-mail info@zazen.cz. Ryan further suggested that we ritualize the diet more and therefore asks those interested in sešshin to bring the so-called óryóki sets, it is a set of three matching bowls, chopsticks, a wooden spoon and a “spatula”. A detailed illustration is in the picture below. The set can be purchased original, but not cheap at all, for example e-shop. Alternatively, it can be found in Sapa or elsewhere. The spatula can be replaced with a Czech spatula used in the kitchen (also see the attached picture).
