The Compassionate Kitchen by Thubten Chodron

The Compassionate Kitchen by Thubten Chodron

Eating as a spiritual practice: wisdom from the Buddhist tradition that you can use at home.

Every aspect of our daily activities can be a part of spiritual practice if done with compassion-and this compact guide offers wisdom from the Buddhist tradition on how eating mindfully can nourish the mind as well as the body.

Thubten Chodron, abbess of Sravasti Abbey in Washington state, shows us that eating and activities related to it-preparation of food, offering and consuming it, and cleaning up afterward-can contribute to awakening and to increased kindness and care toward others. Chodron offers traditional Buddhist teachings and specific practices used at the Abbey, along with advice for taking the principles into our own home in order to make the sharing of food a spiritual intention for anyone. By eating consciously and mindfully-and by including certain rituals-we find ourselves less obsessive about food and can enjoy our meals more.

Thubten Chodron, a Tibetan Buddhist nun born in the United States, travels the world teaching and directing meditation retreats. She is the author of Buddhism for Beginners, Dealing with Anger, How to Liberate Your Mind, Open Heart, Clear Mind, and Controlling the Mind, and is known for her straightforward and practical interpretations of the Buddha's teachings. She is a resident of Seattle, Washington.
